Today's FML is similar in size and content to yesterday's: thousands of lines with a few major topics dominating: Kodo, and discussion about forming a national group. Both worthy topics, and your posts will make it through. But I have a fear here too: the sheer volume of mail lately is too much for most people to keep up with. I think there are relatively few people who will be able to read FMLs of this size from end to end, and that's a shame because there are very many worthy causes in the FML. For example, we have the folks from Norway whose ferret was confiscated at a California airport (yesterday's issue). We have a found ferret. An ill ferret. Ferrets for adoption. Questions. Answers. An event schedule. And, of course, there's the latest about Kodo, including a couple of great press releases, the results of his rabies test, new items to auction off (some great stuff), a follow-up from Bud Jackson and heart-warming tributes. How can you help? Probably the biggest help would be to give your posts an accurate subject. This will help people find their posts of interest and will help to categorize things more easily. I'm categorizing the posts into two large FMLs today. One will deal with everything Kodo -- the latest press releases and news, auction/fundraising news and various tributes to Kodo. The other will deal with everything else, such as forming a national group and database, the usual questions, answers, news and stories. I'll do my best to oraganize, but, as usual, overlap is inevitable. Let's see what the next few days bring -- probably things will slacken off some. And I will continue to try to give you the maximal resource for your time by remove things like stray lines and excessive quoting, categorizing posts and presenting them in a consistent format. Thanks again for the amazing support. Kodo's spirit sure does have much of energy. Bill [Posted in FML issue 1969]
