When I first joined this list there were some folks who I respected, not so much for what they believed , but because they SAID what they believed..and they had a track record in this sport.....whether it was popular or not, you knew where they stood. Probably why I get along with Basu as well as I do.....Kathaleen Strong has been missed on this list!....She and a few others call it like they see it!. We now have folks who talk standard and breed change and the "old" days...and they're produced NOTHING!!!!...past or present...and folks continue to respond to them....awhile back some one referred to them as "trolls".....we have lots of trolls on the list now......and I respect Kathaleen"s views on the events of when she was a board member, I was upset when she resigned....agree with her or not, you know where she stands...her last name fits her personality.....tell me who's running for board and I will tell you the winners before the election.......I promised not to use the "L" word again.....but you get the picture...or maybe you don't, and perhaps that's the problem!...good to see you back Ms. STRONG!...Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
