Absolutely not, which is why I specifically said I was not referring to
anyone who asked questions about it. It just so happened that Mietze
resigned her position in a thread you started, and I replied to that.
I
think the Jellicle Ball is a lovely tradition that every year brings
out
many "old-timers" that are not usually able to post and I agree that it
would be sad to see it go. I'm concerned that some here felt that we
were
inundating the group with stuff that didn't pertain to them, but
without
those who have gone before, this group would not exist.

Some of the "old-timers" were here when the group actually started, and
began the tradition of the Jellicle Ball, and some of the other
meowchat
things that are still going on today. I came along a little later. We
all
share a love of this group whether we're able to access regularly or
only
once a year. Mietze's work for the group through these many years has
been
above and beyond the call of "dooty" and I just hope everyone
appreciates
what a difficult job it has been.
Purrs, Ellie

I hope that by asking questions it is understood I did not mean to
deminish
any worth of anyone to this site. It is a wonderful place to be. I
have
a
vision problem and don't have a screen reader at this time so it is
hard
to
read all the history. To not have a Jellica Ball would be a great
loss.

Hello to all. My cats Oprah Anne and Princess Pasha played here for
years (starting in 1996) when I was able to get rpcc through
newsgroups via my dialup account. When that dried up, and I had to
rely on the more difficult to follow internet groups on a dialup
account, I had to give it up for a variety of reasons, the biggest
of
which was lack of time, although I did check in occasionally to see
what was going on. This group was always about fun and love for me,
and I can only hope it will remain so for all of you..

I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the wonderful work that
Mietze (by way of Melissa) has done for all of us over these last
years. She alone has remembered the names of those cats, dogs,
ferrets, other furs (even a snake or two), and hoomins who have
passed
to the rainbow bridge during the past years. She puts their names
in
her Walk of Remembrance and has worked tirelessly on the behalf of
all
of us to keep the names of those we've loved alive forever. This
year, my beloved Lissa's name was called after she died shortly
after
last year's Jellicle Ball. There has been no one more dedicated to
this task than Mietze/Melissa has been, and I wish to thank her for
that.

That said (and I wish to make clear this is not aimed at those who
simply asked questions), I would like to add that those few of you
who
have *complained* should be ashamed. If rpcc no longer wishes to
have
a Jellicle Ball, that's fine, but it is a sad day when some in a
group
of people who have supposedly been brought together by love of their
furs should attack someone who has done nothing but try to give some
consolation and solace to those who have lost their loved ones. I
have to wonder if those who have been so quick to criticize will
step
up to the plate and remember those who go to the bridge this coming
year.
