Humans, places, cats + other pets - General

Humans, places, cats + other pets - General


I started providing services to rec.pets.cats many years ago before it
split, and have continued to do so ever since. However, sadly, I am not
going to continue.

My time on the internet needs to be cut down somewhat, but in fact has
increased because I look after a Bridge Laws forum as well as all the
newsgroups I read.

Furthermore, it seems less suitable nowadays: my lists of animals and
their humans seem of less interest. Sadly, my Welcome! emails will also
cease. For anyone who has not read one, I shall also post one here now.

I shall be posting my general articles for the last time now. The
list of people and pets will be updated one more time, so any
adjustments must reach me before the end of January: after that, no more
changes! It will remain on my Catpage as a memory to several years of
people and pets.

At the same time, at the end of this month, I shall stop reading all
the Cat newsgroups except my favourite: you will still see me on
rec.pets.cats.anecdotes!

Finally, my Catpage and Storypage will remain: sometime I must update
the latter: I have at least 600 stories to add! Please note that if you
want to access my Catpage or write emails to me you must read and act on
the last line of the sig: I am fighting 6000 emails a day, and will
reduce that number considerably sometime next year when blakjak.com
switches off.

For me things were never really the same after the split but I kept my
ear in here and on rare occasion my voice. Your presence goes back to my
early memories of r.p.c.*. I hope everything is ok for you; I can't even
guess how many people you helped along the years.

best to you,

Andy

David - you are and always were one of the constants of rec.pets.cats - I
remember you since before the split! I'm glad you'll still be on
anecdotes - I don't blame you for discontinuing the other cat groups, they
can be a bit hard to take sometimes.

Hugs,

When your cat passes away there will be an "RB" placed next to his/her name
(for Rainbow Bridge - a poem that's been around a long time, David has a
copy of it on his site). The list is just a chronicle of all the cats who
own/have owned various and sundry posters on the cats newsgroups - and a
remembrance of the ones who have crossed the Bridge.

People just give me information: when they do I add them to the list
or correct the list. However, the list at the end of January will be
final.

It is used for anything people wish ot use it for. People like ot
know where other people post from and their pets' names.

ooops I forget their ages

Jupiter - 1 yr Black female,

cool deal, thanks

David,

Your efforts over the years have been noted and appreciated. I'm
sorry we didn't say so more often - it's a harsh task. Kinda like
working in IT - nobody knows you're there until they perceive
something's going wrong, then of course it's YOUR problem, right?

I think with Usenet coming to be eclipsed by all kinds of boards,
blogs, web chats, etc, and a generation of readership that now doesn't
even know the difference, our community has declined. Such is the way.
I really only get into rpcc once a week or so, sometimes less, and
..anecdotes very occasionally.

We'll see ya round - all the best, and again thanks for all the efforts
over the years.

Johanna ("meowmie" to Sprout!, Maui, Blue, Lenny (RB), Lucy(RB), and
of course her Ladyship of Toes, Panda (RB) )
