Subject: This was requested
I had two mails today asking about links and about searching archives.
My list of useful health links, which was specifically requested, is
http://geocities.com/sukieslist
and further links are in the book marks section (to your left as you
look at the monitor) at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/
as well as in these marvelous resources:
http://www.ferret.net/medical/
http://www.trifl.org/medical.html
http://advancedhelp.org

To use the FHL archives, go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/
then you can either go to co-moderator, Pam Sessoms, excellent
write-up in the FILES section (by clicking on the word "Files" to
your left as you look at the monitor), or you can use trial and error
by just going near the bottom of the home page and putting a word in
the search box. Yahoo searches in chunks while going backward in
time for the chunks sampled, so if you have the search come up empty
click on "Next" to search the next chunk. With over 12,000 posts in
there do expect a number of chunks.
I do not recall if you need to be an FHL member to search. To be
able to help the most ferrets possible there are many functions that
can be used by non-members, though not all can. New folks can join
at the website (but be sure to later use the reply function for the
memo Yahoo will send that will allow you to get the digest form or
you will get many mails), OR by sending a blank mail to
<Ferret-Health-list-subscribe@yahoogroups.com>, and then to get the
digest form send a second later blank mail to
<Ferret-Health-list-digest@yahoogroups.com>.

It is also possible to read messages at the FHL website by selecting
"Messages". You can select them individually, or you can hit "Expand
Messages" to read in a list format on site. The second is also
useful is Yahoo has placed an ad over needed text in the first.
---
You can find specific post numbers but putting the number into a
"message number" box that appears in the message pages.
---
BTW, it is just fine for folks to give the URLs (addresses) of
specific posts in notes to other lists, or to use short quotes, but
posts can not be carried anywhere in full or in large part without
the permission of the authors since doing so would be a copyright
violation. For example, you could say that vet, Jerry Murray has a
fine post on the transdermal meds at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/message/12526
---
Do read the short list of rules before posting: we don't allow
fights, advertising, slamming, the names of treating vets (except as
recommendations that do not discuss treatments), quotes longer than
what you write, off topic posts, and few other things. There are
only a few rules so they are easy to read and learn.
