You missed the point of my missive.  One of the conserns we have had is that
California's Fish and Game monitors what is said here on the FML and could
possibly gain information about California's ferret owners.  The original
Anon post smacked of a blind ruse to get people to respond so that Fish and
Game could add to their data base.  Because the Anon message 'smelled' so
much like an entrapment attempt, I jokingly suggested they should be
'poofed'.  Re-read my original comment, carefully this time.  If you still
disagree and feel I was calling for 'poof' letters, then don't bother to
post anonymously...if you live in Cal, and own ferrets, I am sure F & G
would love to get a handle on you...!
