self-correcting. That is, past mistakes are ultimately corrected with new
data. One of the problems is local bias; that is, professors with a
specific point of view often emphasis that view over others. Still, in the
long run, the more accurate facts "win" over the less accurate
interpretations. This is less of a problel)

I've included some useful paths in the trailer to this article.
I will manually forward them back out. I will make some changes to
automate this in the future, but not quite yet. Part of the reason
why this isn't being automated now is the fact that of necessity one
of the recipients has to be anonymous. Sounds wierd ... Unfortunately,
this person has their ferret in a state where ferrets are (still)
illegal and has asked me to [...]44_21Dec198719:14:

1) Nicia - very small (overweight) sable femal, at least 2 years old.

about 1 1/2 years ago. A sock eater (with feet inside).
Have tried many thigns, simply can't stop her.
3) Toby - 3 lb. silver-mitt male, obtained as a baby. 9 mos. old.
Big, stupid, and friendly lummox. [...]44_21Dec198719:14:

friendly 3 pound, 2 year old male), and Fritter (a very smart 2 pound
3 year old female). A few weeks ago we lost Hale to an illness that she
had been fighting for several months -- she was over 7 (we have no idea
what her real age was as she was purchased as an adult -- she may have
been as old as 9). [...]39_21Dec198719:14:

[log in to unmask], 21 Dec 1987 19:14:00 -0500385_- Hello,
I've had my ferret for over a year now and I wouldn't trade him for anything.
He's an albino, and about 3 years old.
As to training him, my brother and I have managed to train him to come to the
sound of a whistle. This was done by rewarding him with his favorite snack
(cheerios) every time we would whistle. Now all you have to do is whistle and [...]39_21Dec198719:14:

of these for years, until I was told they weren't allowed in CA.
For same! But, I'd still like to know 'bout 'em. Maybe one of
these days I'll move...
