*To all* We would like to sincerely thank those individuals and groups in the ferret community who have sent us e-mails of support, encouragement, and gratitude for voicing similar concerns about MF #24. We apologize for unintentionally offending anyone with our views. Not because anyone is right or wrong, but because we did not realize that by stating our refusal to accept the photos presented in MF issue #24, and taking action, we were inadvertently attacking the core value and belief systems of other subscribers. For that mistake, we do apologize. We will not apologize for our good intentions . based on our love for ferrets. We did not mean to imply that anyone whose taste or humor differs from ours does not love or care for ferrets, or that they are irresponsible ferret owners. We certainly did not attempt to segregate the FML population into groups categorized by "sense of humor." *To the ferret show judge* It is quite possible that someone somewhere in the universe, besides yourself, might think we are ignorant, mean, superior, haughty, vicious racists AND idiotic, illogical, goofy, sentimentally-laughable rainbow-bridge twits that are probably on our way to hell as heretics with only a $3 pocket dictionary. We also know the difference between children and pets-we have a child and grandchild. *To Modern Ferret* Controversy increases sales, so enjoy. Freedom of speech exists for everyone . and, MF, we hope we never "get the joke". and, yes, we DO *understand* and enjoy Monty Python. Thank you again for listening. We promise not to publicly revisit this subject; this is it for us, folks. So, go hug your ferret(s) or your child(ren) or read your favorite magazine!
