Unfortunately, we can't stop people from replying privately. That would be on any list or any breed. Unfortunately. It happens in Obedience clubs, agility clubs, in the world. I wish it didn't. I wish people would just shut up when they want to lambast people. But it doesn't happen. It happens on legislation lists, in neighborhoods. I look at how many emails bounce (they bounce back to the server) because somebody has blocked that person's emails. I would rather have that than what you are describing, Joyce. One of the hardest things I've had to do recently is slap my fingers at some comments. But slap them, I did. And didn't respond. Please everybody, think twice, three times. Your negative opinion REALLY isn't necessary for the world to turn. Friend of Joyce...I thought it was a neat post! Storm On Oct 14, 2011, at 6:09 PM, myjoygs@xxxxxxx wrote: > You know people.
