I whole heartedly agree with Becky DeGeer, however I believe a few names were unintentionally overlooked. I nominate 'BIG' (Bill Gruber, the moderator of this list) who without his devotion & dedication NONE of this would be possible. This has to be a BIG responsibility (no pun intended)! Reading & sorting through the countless emails, putting them in order of relevance, deciding when bickering on a particular topic needs to end, checking for legal issues, determining what's off topic, listing new subscribers, canceling unsubscribers, keeping up with all those who just dropped out and didn't tell anyone, etc. He also receives emails directed to him personally that are not to be posted but need answering or research. There are currently 2,433 people on this list to keep up with. He does this daily for FREE, just so we can have something to read. I was up late the other night composing a post and finally got it off around 1:30 am EST. I didn't expect it to appear in that days FML. Around 2 am EST the FML hit my 'inbox'. Low & behold there was my post! Does this man ever sleep? Does he ever get sick? Does he ever take a vacation? I know he has a full time job on the side, lol. I've been on the FML since the mid 90's and can only remember a couple missed FML's, each with a very good reason. I would call this "DEDICATION" Also, let's not forget the Bridge Greeters. They post greetings for our fuzzies who have entered the hereafter just to help us in our time of grieving. These aren't just a couple of lines but lengthy posts, almost short stories. These must take at least an hour or more each to compose, edit, spell check and post. They go into specific details for each and every ferret to make them personal and heart felt. They do this FOR US, FOR FREE just to ease our pain. So, I hereby Nominate Bill Gruber and the Bridge Greeters (I don't know their names or I'd mention them personally) to be added to the list and Inducted into the Ferrets "ROCK STARS" Hall of Fame! These are truly dedicated people. Anyone feeling the same should "Stand Up and be Counted". Mike & the crew [Thanks for your nomination, though please note I'm not a shelter nor do I have anything to do with the Ferret Health List -- in other words, the FML is only a small part of the overall picture.
