Thanks Kona! I honestly did not know what the ".ca" in "pets.ca" meant! And no, I'm not kidding or being sarcastic. When I was browsing the threads during my first few days here, I actually thought to myself "Wow, there are a lot of people from Canada who post on this site" LOL!!!
*Feeling foolish*
Anyway, I don't want to hijack your thread, so back to the topic at hand.
Your posting was obviously very well thought out and not written in haste, or as an emotional outburst. And maybe you are right. Maybe others should do the same. Regardless of whether people agree or disagree with what you said here, you are to be commended for the maturity you've shown.
I do hope you remain a member, as there is much invaluable advice to be found here, nonetheless.
Woody, your "public transport" analogy was right on the money!!! Loved it.
