Greetings to all, Hate to break out that time-tested line, but how true that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Dr. Williams has decided that he no longer wishes to post on the FML . Just two days ago my husband and I were talking about Dr. William's dedication to ferrets, and his seemingly endless supply of patience, care, and support. This list has over 3,000 members, (please correct me if I'm wrong, BIG), and many of us do not post even in a free forum such as this. Dr. Williams answered questions, provided insight, and tried to address the many problems sent to him absolutely gratis. He could easily have charged for his information, but instead he took the time out of his day to respond and help. Really, just take a look at the volumes of responses he wrote . That's a very major time commitment ! Most of us would honestly admit that we would not do this......jobs, kids, etc., just regular daily life , hence, no time ! Think about it. So, he's off the FML. Please, no flames . He's done enough for all of us. I have never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Williams, but I respect his decision and wish him continued success and happiness. Also, I have received several emails in response to my plea for hammocks. Thanks to you all ! Another example of how well this community bands together. This is literally a lifeline, and very precious . Let's try harder, shall we ? It would be a huge blow to lose more people to intolerance and anger. We can ALL do better. So, here's my challenge . If you're reading this, you subscribe to the FML for some reason. I challenge you to post positive experiences you've had with this list. Granted , we don't live in a bucolic world, but it's the worst of life that leaves a jagged imprint on your soul. It's not easy to think of good times when all the bad is forefront in your head. Challenge : Has the FML brought you some good ? If so, let's hear it. All the best, Kym Zorn Long Wayward Weasel Ferret Rescue 1800 Shady Lane Louisville, KY 40205 (502) 459-9950 [Posted in FML issue 3332]
