I am a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, a member of the Model A Ford Club of American and a whole bunch of dog clubs. I find the people in all hobbies include all types. You can watch the ones that are hostile and nasty, or you can align yourself with the better groups. I chose to find the people who make me laugh, and join in my pleasures. Ed is but one of them. The dog people are no different than the stamp collectors, rabbit people, the magicians, and those who tap dance for a hobby. You see what you want, you judge how you decide, you determine what you get out of it, and only you can prevent forest fires.
