Well, good news just can't wait - I'm sending this issue out an hour early. The impending legalization of ferrets in MA is not only thrilling news and, no doubt, the beginning of a very good trend but I'm also pleased to no end at the prospect of having less anonymous postings to process :-) On another topic, many people have written to me privately with encouraging words and suggestions for the FML. 23 of the 24 comments I received have mentioned that my comments were appreciated and the 24th contained some constructive criticism. I am grateful for each and thank all of you wonderful folks for your time and thoughts. Bill [Posted in FML issue 1379]
