On the subject of the long length of the list:
Just an idea, could the list possibly be sent in two part?
 
[Moderator's note: In theory it would be possible, but it would require lots
of work on my part and wouldn't reduce the total volume anyhow.  It might help
some people of course, but realistically I wouldn't be willing to do it.   BIG]
 
   One part could be " Pet Ferrets" with lots of stories to read
   Part two could be " Ferret Info, Questions & answers"
