Unlike a lot of people on the FML who like to complain, whine, argue
and/or remove themselves from the list, I know how to use my delete and
scroll button very well. If it doesn't interest me..scroll. If there is
nothing in the list that has any value for the future...delete. Simple.
However today , since the list has been relatively quiet, I decided to
read a little bit about this LOS vs. XXX discussion (war, debate,
opinion, whatever you want to call it.) going on. When I say, 'a little
bit', I mean very little - like 2 paragraphs, 'cause I do not need any
more info then that to know when the constant back and forth becomes
convoluted and misunderstood. Instead I just shake my head and ask
myself...do people really have the time, inclination and nature to
constantly bicker about the same thing over and over (whether it be
raw vs. whole prey vs. kibble, etc, etc) and expect that they will
change people's minds? There is actually two things I've learned from
this list (not to mention the 1,000 things about ferrets)...

1) I know the names of the people who like to argue. Most I've never
met, but when I do hear their name the wheels start turning in my
head and I remember their FML posts.

2) I've learned, to keep my fuzzies safe and not risk a contagious
disease/virus, I will never enter them into a ferret show regardless
of how beautiful or worthy I think they are.

So there are my thoughts...anyone who would like to add to this list
of things I've learned, feel free.

Tanja
