To the FML: >Dr. Williams, is there any recent news in your quest for answers? I >would like to hand out an updated report at our Ferret Fun Match on July >16th so that everyone can be made aware of the situation. (BTW, I doubt >if I will take my ferrets to this just because of ECE. The most recent FAQ is still the most current. Treatment remains as stated (although a recent post on colloidal silver is noted). We still have not been able to grow the virus in the laboratory. I have noticed a flurry of posts on ECE, posts which appear to be bringing the worst out in the FML. Politics appears to be rearing its ugly head. For this reason, I will not be answering any questions on ECE on the FML for a while, hoping that the thread will drop and once again, cooler heads will prevail. I can only hope that the partisanship that I am now seeing over this disease will abate and will not enter into other areas. [Moderator's note: Like I said, I still don't understand it, but I hope you will consider softening that policy in view of my statement this issue. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1251]
