[PyrNet-L] PYRNET ADMIN THREAD STOPPING!

["Maureen & Dave Simon" <msimon@ptd.net>]

DEAR PYRNET,

As "co-owners" of this list, we were contacted to put a stop to the recent 
"GPCA Membership" thread. We have *never* censored this list, and believe that 
such freedom is one of the list's strong points. As for unpopular or 
controversial ideas that may surface from time to time, our general policy is 
that 'sunshine is the best disinfectant'. 

We expected the thread to burn itself out quickly, and it appearntly had. We 
disagreed with those who complained that the thread itself had no buisness 
being on the list at all, and that it had no relevance to the majority of Pry 
owners. As the Breeders, Sellers, and Rescuers of so many our Pyrs, 
likely including the one that is your companion right now, a discussion 
about the ethical standards of the GPCA should be relevant to all.

BUT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE PERSONAL ATTACKS of the type just posted by "Sally". 
"Sally" has been removed from posting rights. 
Any future posters that look to defame, threaten, & attack others will receive 
the same treatment. 
Should this continue, we will be forced to pre-screen all incoming mail.

Apologies to all innocent bystanders.

Dave & Maureen Simon
