I think the problem, and the repeat of this topic every couple of years, is
that 'da List is too tolerant. This is a AKC/CKC CONFORMATION show list.
However, many of us have other interests, including various dog sports, in
addition to showing our dogs. We frequently talk about health, FOOD choices,
structure, performance in ALL venures at one point or another, import
breedings, show and performance brags, white dogs, etc. Because many of us are
friends, we brag on kids, talk about what happened outside the ring at shows,
spread rumors - some funny/some not, and all the other topics that friends chat
about over coffee. When new people join they get the impression that this is a
general GSD list - not specific for show folks. Sometimes it doesn't even
appear to be a GSD list. And I'm just as guilty as the rest so I'm NOT
throwing rocks. Just that I understand why the topic of "prove it", like
history, is destined to repeat itself.
While the rules are posted on the website, I for one never went to the site
before joining 'da List several years ago. I was invited by a friend. I think
many of the other new folks joined the same way - word of mouth (or e-mail LOL)
so they really don't know what they've joined and what folks make up the 'chat
group.' [Thats got to be obvious when newbees start asking folks like Barbara
Amidon what SHEs done in the breed] who the group. They just don't know the
level of experience here and that this is not "Billy Bob's GSD chat group."
I'm NOT advocating that we should stop many of the off topic posts since we ARE
all supposed to be friends and frinds chat. However, maybe periodically Marge
Golant's post should automatically go to da "list. That might solve the
problem once and for all! JMO.
