In case anyone wondered: they were sent beforehand to the folks who
replied the day before -- with my offer to not post them if they upset
them (which apparently they did not because I got no objections and a very
enthusiastic "Yes!".), and Cindy also knew they existed and why.  So, no
one who posted on that situation was offended.
 
Actually, Cindy has recognized this as a opportunity to help local vets
get medical information to treat ferrets, and that is a very, very, very,
very, very (Have I mentioned "very"?) CONSTRUCTIVE way to handle it.  The
vets learn about websites, books, and vets' ferret-treating videos
(Deborah Kemmerer's and Charles' Weiss' -- both of whom have websites).
She is turning her situation into one in which she IMPROVES the chances
of ferrets getting good care in her area!  I just have to applaud Cindy
for turning this into something so constructive and so helpful for
ferrets!  Bravismo!
 
Bill, it has been almost a month since these last appeared and there are
additions since then.  I did not check them all this time before posting
but all were functional 1/13.  If you think that it is too early to post
these, I'll wait, but I figure it's part of the topic and perhaps others
can take a page from Cindy's book and use them to improve their region's
health care, too.  Remove sites if this part of the post is too soon.
 
Important note: it appears that anything that is associated in the lists
with the names "Acme" and "Howard or Anne Davis" now link directly into
a very overt porn site but a few of the website owners have not changed
those entries.  As Linda Iroff explained this sometimes happens when
folks let their registration for a name lapse; porno sites grab them up.
