Your response was simply uncalled for.  Dee, you showed compassion for
Daniel in his post about Felix.  Why could you not show the same to someone

kind of comment made when posts were made about FerretGuy or Bob Church and
their health problems.  Maybe you just don't like the magazine, but the
post was pertinent to people on the list or BIG wouldn't have let it
through.
