While I am not any expert on Pyrs nor a very experienced dog owner, and not
likely to be on the guest list for the World Conference, having lived in
England for well over two years, I totally support Geraldine on this - it's
just a way of being polite
and supportive...Don't mean to step on any toes here, but what is wrong with
a little respect for etiquette...? :-)

RS, Lisette Anderson
