Could it also be that having the FHL (Ferret Health List) dedicated to vet/medical questions has cut down on the size of the FML? ______________________________________________________________ Kristeen, Katie, Matt, Al & Stanley ([log in to unmask]) [Moderator's note: That's certainly one reason. There are many less health posts now. Actually, there are a fair number of people coming and going every day, though not more than usual lately as far as I can tell. Most people stay on the list for a few months then decide they've received a good education when they notice topics repeating. I have no problem at all with that -- means the FML has helped them get a better understanding of their ferrets. And that means the FML -- all of you -- have helped. Of course, about half the people on the FML have been here for years, the rest are constantly changing. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3396]
