   Subject: Are you sick of ferrets yet?
 
   Dear Bob,
   I have been following what has been going on with the Ferret Mailing
   List lately with regards to your store.  Just a mention, unlike most of
   the other people commenting on that subject, I HAVE been to your store,
   albeit it was a few years ago when you were apparently just starting
   out.  I can tell you that the place left a bad taste in my mouth at that
   time and you didn't even carry ferrets then.  Your employees were
   uninformed and disrespectful (rather than answer my questions, two of
   your salesmen chose to go hide and not come back to talk to me about
   care for some of the herps you were carrying).  Needless to say I never
   went back or thought twice about your organization until it came up on
   the FML.
 
   My opinion of your store is not an issue here.  What I am suggesting,
   in light of all the hub-bub that has been raised, that perhaps you
   subscribe to ferret mailing list and address some of the issues that are
   being discussed with regards to your business, rather than banter and
   smart-ass the people posting and requesting information from you.  If
   you don't, I can assure you that some of these people don't let go of
   a topic and will go to the ends of the earth to torture you.  In my
   opinion, if you subscribe and post to the FML, I believe you would fare
   better, and make a good name for yourself amongst the ferret lovers on
   the internet and be endorsed by a large group such as this one, rather
   than take a beating and get boycotted.  Yes?  Sincerely, Diane Dederick

   ><boycotted> that's an interesting comment?
   >Ferret orders for supplies are up dramatically Huuummmm.
