Folks, I have more than 3000 ferret related emails in my inbox, which have been sent the last few months when I have been busy with the written part of my degree and while I have been recovering from my little exercise in mortality. I think as much as I want to get to each one and answer than, it is a hopeless venture and one I can scarcely take the time and energy to do. So, I have downloaded them to my hard drive for reference (if necessary) and erased my inbox so I can start over. I apologize if I did not respond to a particular question or remark. Rest assured that if I missed something important, I feel bad--even guilty. Thanks to all who sent condolences for Fraggle, and those who sent well wishes to me for my surgery. I appreciate both. Perhaps by erasing my inbox, I will have the time to answer more recent mail, or even read it! I'm been working so hard on the old stuff that I never got around to the new stuff. I was in a serious Catch 22 situation. I still have some stuff on my plate I need to catch up on; the end of the nutrition posts, for example. While I have recovered to a degree, my energy levels are very low compared to my normal state, and I can't seem to be able to juggle as many things as before. Sorry for being forced into this situation, I just don't have the time or energy to catch up. I am deeply sorry and I offer my most sincere apology.
