Some people here have had my server burping.  It's been reported so, please,
let me know if it doesn't stop.
 
Many things affect tones of posts: how much a person has to do elsewhere,
whether the person has had too little sleep, if there is a personal or
family illness, if there are serious family problems, command of this
language (I remain forever grateful that folks elsewhere seem to be so much
better than I at learning other languages.), etc.  That and just plain
tolerance for other opinions are why it's important to cut some slack.  If
everyone reads too closely (or worse -- reads between lines to see things
which may well not be there) then each will find something to be upset
about, but we are a community and our mutual love of ferrets, and the ways
our diversity allow us to find multiple solutions to problems are our
strengths NOT our weaknesses.  Pax on list, okay?
 
While I am mentioning what helps us all and helps ferrets I must mention a
WHO.  Thanks, Bill, for all your help.
