Hi, I was wondering if I could also be on your mailing list.  As of
yet,
I don't have a ferret, but I plan to purchase one for my younger
brothers and myself as soon as the semester ends.....
Anything you could pass on from your mailing list would be
appreciated....by the way do ferrets smell? are they aggressive???
 
[Get "Ferrets" by Chuck and Fox Morton, Barron's 1986.
Smell?  yes.  We don't find it particularly objectionable.  You can
have them descented, but only if absolutely necessary.  Aggressive?
Well, consider it "aggressively playful".  Are ferrets legal in NJ?]
 
are they safe to keep as pets? are they destructive????
 
[Safe?  yes.  However, you should supervise their activity when they're
loose, particularly with small children.  As you should with most dogs and
cats.  Destructive?  I'd say no - a cat can do more damage in seconds than a
ferret is likely to do in their entire lifetime.]
 
Do they go for people necks (media hype)?
 
[No, but one of ours goes for socks :-), and they all go for linotone and heavy
licking sessions.]
 
and can I keep them in a carpeted house without everything smelling like
musk...
 
[Depends on how sensitive your nose is.]
 
thanks

rn "r" command is broken and included the whole thing twice!  (I removed
the second copy, and from now on I will be drastically truncating them
when they get this big.  Carlos: your Site administrator is obviously
running "modernish" (2.11 or 2.10.3) news and rn without "sendmail".
Please ask him to delete the ".signature" code from rn's "Rnmail" and
"Pnews" shell scripts.  You see, both these scripts will append the
signature if asked, and the scripts use "recmail" to send mail.  recmail
is part of news and also appends the signature!]
 
[Carlos, which address do you prefer?  topaz or pisces?]
