Well, two issues ago I reminded FML readers that posts about PETA were not appropriate for the FML. Today I must also remind us that posts concerning Animal Right's in general are not acceptable either. I'll be sending such unrelated posts back. Please see my longish moderator's note following Bill May's post for a further discussion about this. I'm sorry this is such an ugly issue. To the several new subscribers: hang in a bit longer please. We really do love ferrets here -- it's just bit hard to see today. Thanks, Bill [Posted in FML issue 2393]
