To Roger and All Members of the Malinois Board,

In the last several days, I have seen many messages on this board which contain information about Ed Frawley, Louis Castle, Fred Hassen, Don Yarnell, and others. Some of these messages also contain a link to my webpage. It has come to my attention that I'm the one being blamed for these messages.

I want to be completely clear - I did not post these messages. Frankly, I think they're pretty funny, and I laughed about them, but they assuredly did NOT come from me.

Regardless of my personal thoughts regarding the people mentioned above, I believe that these issues do not belong in a public message group. I don't see the logic in posting the same message over and over again, however, that is not my problem or within my jurisdiction to solve.

As many people know, I wrote a webpage which clearly illustrates my thoughts regarding the above named people. The webpage is an adequate place for me to voice all of my uncensored opinions about these people, and I have no interest or need to do that here on the Malinois list, or on any other list.

I am not including the link to my webpage in this public message, and will not include it, should I happen to write a message in the future.

While I expect this message to be erased immediately, only because it was written by me, I'll once again say publicly - I read this list to learn about what other people are doing with dogs. I don't come to this forum to look for fights, and I don't back down from the abuse, either. I refuse to serve as a whipping post for the above mentioned people, or anyone else.
