I agree, perhaps some do think we as a group cause problems. I would prefer to think we as a group step up to the problems, whatever they may be. And we often offer solutions ! How many times have posts helped Rescue, someone in need, sent health info, whelping info or just been there to listen by the typed word, when someone really need a "list lift"? Long live the list ! I for one sometimes tell myself, it is to time consuming, there is to much repetition etc. But I am back here every day checking to see what is going on among the many fanciers of our breed and their dogs, family, good news, sad news etc. We are like a family, a big one, and for the most part we stick together and come to one's aid when it becomes necessary. And I am going to use Evan's quote......not that there is anything wrong with that !
