The Meetup.com service some people here are using to meet with ferret lovers was written up in the San Diego Union-Tribune, and ferret lovers were mentioned specifically. "Meetup.com organizes get-togethers of like-minded individuals in 500 cities around the world. Though the name makes it sounds like a dating service, it's not. (Unless your require your mate to be a pagan, a ferret owner, a Radiohead fan or a vampire.)" http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/20030130-9999_1c30meetup.html Melissa Smith (nee Drake) [Posted in FML issue 4044]
