Simple. Because many people on this list read/subscribe to their magazine, and this is one of the quickest and easiest ways for them to explain why issues are printing late. Remember, they are a two person magazine publishing team. When he has such serious health problems, it affects their publishing dates and many people on the FML care about that. 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 who has given up full-time paying jobs to create a publication for the education and enjoyment of other ferret owners? I don't recall the same 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. Debi [Posted in FML issue 3148]
