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 Terrie Mohr-Forker TAZZY'S ANIMAL TRANSPORTS SIAMESE & COLLIE RESCUE Donations accepted at: _https://www.paypal.com/_ (https://www.paypal.com/) _http://www.tazzys-siameses-collies.petfinder.org/_ (http://www.tazzys-siameses-collies.petfinder.org/) _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wasiameserescue_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wasiameserescue) _http://hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/myhomepage/petmemorial.html_ (http://hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/myhomepage/petmemorial.html) _http://www.felineleukemia.org/_ (http://www.felineleukemia.org/) _http://www.hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/index.html_ (http://www.hometown.aol.com/tatorbunz/index.html) _http://www.petloss.com/_ (http://www.petloss.com/) ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
