Subject: Moderator's note: sympathy messages

Everyone,

I have just deleted or rejected several pending messages about Debbie and
Klondike. This was clearly an especially difficult case, where the owner
tried SO hard to diagnose and treat a mysterious problem, to no avail. I
hope that someday we will all know what happened with Klondike.

This is just a gentle reminder about a list policy. We ask that messages
of sympathy over a ferret's death be sent directly to the owner rather
than to the whole list. The list is full of kind, gentle souls, and it is
wonderful to support grieving list members. However, this list is already
so busy that many people have a hard time keeping up with it as is!
Wading through sympathy notes only makes it harder to keep up. The owner
still needs your support, just please do it privately.

Thanks,

-Pam S., one FHL moderator.
