Anyone else's ferrets produce about 5 days worth of turds in the last two days? Amazing! Glad we aren't low on litter right now... I LOVE the FML 3,000 ideas! Wish I had a webpage! Oh, well, at least I have an auto-focus camera, so even with my eyes I can catch a few shots. Thought that perhaps, after reading Troy Lynn's post, that it may also be good if we let others know what we enjoy best about the FML as part of the celebration. For me it's the people. For the most part the people who are here just plain great. Have to confess, though, that there's one aspect of the FML members that I like best: the learning opportunities which they give here. Hey, anyone new to ferrets: just believe me when I say that you NEVER stop learning with these guys (both the ferrets and the FML members) and that is such a special gift to receive. Anyway, that's what I like best: getting the chance to learn. What about you? WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT THE FML? I really LIKE the most recent magazine posts over the last few days: no insinuations, no leading comments, no fabrications, no flaming or flame-baiting, no bygones dredged up yet again long after each side learned from them, no destructiveness, no intolerance etc. Instead, people are just simply discussing what is current and why they like or dislike certain styles, formats, content, structure, etc. in a good and constructive fashion on each side. It's an educational opportunity rather than vying bullying from each side. Really marvelous! (Really an improvement!) There is room for the entire lot and I really agree that does prevent any from back-sliding in quality or accuracy, while allowing for varying tastes or moods. Wouldn't want to lose any of them. (Yes, we have our preferences, too -- "Modern Ferret" and the "American Ferret Report" for us -- but that doesn't mean that we don't read the others when we can or that we dislike others doing so -- just means it's our preference. Enjoy whichever you enjoy for whichever reasons; that's cool.) Our ferrets are Independents, no toe biting, but definitely Independents. Oh, gosh, are they Independents... [Posted in FML issue 2986]
