James, I know you have had medical issues and are not able to frequent
the felvtalk list as much as you'd like. I have gone digest and am not
checking the list regularly either, but someone forwarded the post below
to the felv-off topic group from felvtalk and I thought you should be
aware of the downward spiral our beloved list has taken. As we've
discussed in the past, ot discussions never upset me as long as they
were not mean spirited or inappropriate topics for any 'pg' sort of
gathering. Some of the happy stories shared in the past were very
refreshing when intermingled with the inherent sadness that comes with
having loved ones suffer from felv. It greatly saddens me to report to
you that many of the long time members of this group have dropped off
and it is no longer the comforting source of information and support it
once was. It would be bad enough if mean-spirited ot discussion was the
worst of what was happening, but that is not the only thing plaguing the
list. With the absence of some of the lists more experienced
caregivers, some of the information now being presented in a
matter-of-fact sort of way is not only incorrect, but down right
dangerous for the health of those we so wish to help. If something
isn't done to get things under control soon, I fear the list that has
meant so much to so many will never be the same again. It is sad on so
many levels, but especially so for all the loving guardians of felv pos
cats that will no longer have it as the valuable resource it once was
for me and so many others.
Hopeful that something can be done,
Nina

You truly make me ill. I pray that someday you feel good enough about
yourself not to have to belittle and berate others. This used to be a
place to come and get help from those that were all going through a
difficult time with their beloved felines, and you have turned this
forum into a place to belittle and berate others. Not only off topic but
you are being prejudice and hateful. I will find an organization that is
truly able to help me with my most beloved felines. This surely isn't
the forum for those that want to learn to help preserve the life of
their feline friends that are infected with this hideous virus.
