I've gotten some snotty emails because I didn't leave my phone number or exactly where in MA (that's Massachusetts for you angry folks-it WAS in the subject line) they are; I didn't want to post my ph# b/c you can obviously EMAIL me, and I didn't think it mattered WHERE in MA they are, b/c folks could contact me for exactly where they are. I have posted about these guys before, and they are Rescue League animals that I have taken my time and money to get examined & vaccinated; I posted as much info as I have, so give me a fudgin' break. I think I was pretty darned thorough. If you are truly interested in giving these guys a home, EMAIL me and I can exchange ph#s with you to discuss it. Feeling shelled, April AC [Moderator's note: I didn't miss this one -- MA was indeed in the subject line -- but note that in cases involving ferrets for adoption I almost always try to determine where they are located and I add that to the subject line if it isn't already there. In the case of US states or Canadian provinces I rarely indicate more than the two-letter Postal abbreviation. In other words, I can't understand what upset people about April's post. Did I miss something? BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4207]
