[ Moderator's note: OK, now that you've each had a round I trust that any further such discussions will be offline. Thanks! BIG ] Hmm, yup, I would have to call that a personal attack on myself by Mr. Paul Rahman. Just a few facts here. Debbie from the GLFA called me Thursday night and specifically REQUESTED that I ask for not only out of state vet numbers, but to post a request to the net about rabies studies. I certainly didn't make that up. The next day, she called and left a message that she was wrong, that the Gov doesn't need the studies after all. Unfortunatly, this was way after I had made the request and after I had received great information from some wonderful people here on the list that I quickly faxed off to the Gov (question is, why did she call me who is not a member and not Paul, who is?) And my "insensitive" (as Paul calls them) quotes about the Gov were hers, not mine, I just didn't present them that way (But since Paul wasn't on the phone with us, he couldn't have known that). So, to sum up, I tried to do a good service, got a lot of people to help me, and got slammed for it. beckers -- beckers (becki kain) "words are just dust in deserts of sound." eldritch [Posted in FML issue 1047]
