GLENN, IF YOU WEREN'T IN SUCH A "DEFENSIVE" MODE, YOU MIGHT HAVE TAKEN WHAT ARCHIE TOLD YOU IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. WHY DON'T YOU EXERCISE YOUR "FREEDOM OF CHOICE" AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU ARE LEARNING NOTHING AND PERSUADING NO ONE. BUY WHATEVER PLEASES YOU, AS WILL THE OTHERS ON THIS BOARD. IT'S SAD TO THINK YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER KNOW THE "JOY" OF THIS HOBBY OR ENCOMPASS THE GOODWILL AND WARMTH OF IT'S PARTICIPANTS. AND AS FAR AS HAVING DOGS FOR FRIENDS, IF THEY COULD TALK, WE MIGHT NOT LIKE THEIR OPINIONS EITHER.
