I've had enough. BIG is indeed a wonderful person for keeping this list going for as long as he has, and hopefully at some point it may end up being an informative wonderful place to visit... but for now, I'm outta here. The joint has a certain reek to it. My ferrets teach me more every day than the human bickering does on this list, and I'm actually quite fed up with having to sift through the crap to find the little bits of joy or informative themes Alex., thank you for the ongoing hilarity... I too owned a pygmy hedgehog (not a very inspired name.. but we loved Harley anyway lol) who despised the world and have had nothing but out loud giggling at France's antics with the ferts. Thank you to Hope and to the Greeters at the Rainbow Bridge.. you do more each day for the feelings of those who have lost or are afraid of losing a wee one than I can say. Other than that.. I can live without the shelters and private persons begging for funds, (sorry.. I have more than my hands full keeping my own healthy and happy) and more importantly the constant CRAP that occurs on a more than weekly basis it seems. Drop in the bucket.. so what if one more disgruntled FML member leaves right? See ya on the flipside. DookDancer & the Ferret Collective "Resistance is Futile" Barnum & Bailey, Finnegan & Cliodhna, and wee Kamiko [Moderator's note: I can't say I'm not disappointed, but for most people there are diminishing returns once you've been on the FML for a while. Most people who leave do so after gaining quite an education about both ferrets and people! Best wishes, and we'll be here if you decide to come back sometime. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4965]
