In light of several recent posts that have appeared on this list (several pleas for adoption and some calls to arms), I feel I have to air a peeve: If you post a query to this list (or on the Internet), and you want someone _geographically_ near to you to respond, POST YOUR PHYSICAL MAILING ADDRESS!!! I wish I had a nickel for every time I saw the following post: "I'm Joe, and my ferret needs a new home fast. [log in to unmask]" I'd _love_ to help, but I don't have time to answer all of these queries only to find out each time that the person lives in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, or some other such place. If helping you involves getting up from my keyboard, you have to tell me where you are! Anon. [Posted in FML issue 0586]
