"What is this list?"
 
Well, it started out as my own little project to see what people had named
their ferrets.  I wanted to know how you guys came up with some of these
cute names.  I asked for e-mail from the alt.pets.ferrets, and from the
Ferret Mailing List and boy did I get mail!
 
"So where do I find this list?"
 
Well, the list has gotten too big to display on a web page. I could break
it up into several web pages, but frankly... I'm lazy. Instead, you can:
 
1) Mail [log in to unmask] with the message SEND FERRET NAMES in the
body.  The subject line will be ignored.  Within a few minutes, you'll
receive the full list through e-mail.  (Thanks, BIG!)
 
2) Visit the web site at http://www.texramp.net/~ahn/ferretlist.html and
click on the link to download a zipped version of the list in Word 6.0
format.
 
"Nifty, now how do I add my ferrets, or correct a mistake on the list?"
 
Don't let your ferrets feel left out!  Go to the Ferret Name List Addition
Page at http://www.texramp.net/~ahn/addferret.html or e-mail me at
[log in to unmask]  If you decide to just e-mail me, please be sure to tell me
your name as well as your ferrets' names, and don't assume I can guess the
sex of your ferrets.
