Okay, I know it's the rag weed season in part of the FML's range so a lot of folks have headaches or worse, but -- Peace on List, folks! There is nothing wrong with asking questions. Nor is there anything wrong with civil answers; those are wonderful, of course, because we all learn from them. There's no call, however, to worry a topic or (worse) a poster like a terrier with a dish towel, especially when it has been pointed out that the comment being attacked was in quotes, denoting that the poster herself held it in question. Some very good people who have done more for ferrets through the years than many scores of others combined have done have sadly met with nasty results when this sort of thing got spiraling. The FML has been too big for many years for any of us to know more than a few people here well; that makes it easier to misunderstand what another poster may mean. Give the benefit of the doubt, please! You will need someone to provde that curtesy for you some time, too! When ferret proofing don't forget fire safety! Don't block air vents which appliances need to not overheat and don't use flammable objects in any areas where they might result in fire! Your local fire departments or fire inspectors will have pamphlets with more precautions. The family you save will be your own. Sukie [Posted in FML issue 2055]
