Laura, I apologize that I was wrong about you not volunteering for a shelter, although you don't actually RUN a shelter, and simply volunteering for one is not the same. Ask anyone who has sat on both sides of the fence. You still owe a lot of people an apology for insinuating that any shelter who is not a 501(c)3 is a bunch of crooks and not running a good shelter. While some have issues that should be addressed and not enabled, there are many fine shelters who do not have a 501(c)3, and your generalized attack was narrow-minded and ignorant. I took that insinuation very personally, as did several others. We're still waiting on your apology. Anne [Posted in FML issue 5007]
