I never said that YOU said anything about my post.  But SOME people did.
However, I did, in fact, post to the dfw.forsale group both before and
after posting here.  For what it's worth, I never turned her over to the
SPCA.  She now has her puppies and I will wait until they are weaned
before giving them, and then her, away.

I do not feel this is the appropriate forum for selling things and I am
well aware of the other newsgroups.  I was GIVING my dog away, not
selling her.  The only reason I chose to post here was that I thought
there may be caring readers here who would appreciate the opportunity to
have a great, loving, pure-bred boxer for FREE and, since they might not
be interested in BUYING a dog, they might not have checked the
dfw.forsale group.  Apparently, I was wrong and admitted such publicly
to this group.  I simply mentioned my "dog" post as an example to how
"outsiders" are treated....continuing the topic from the original post
of this thread.

No, I cannot apprecite that fact because I only read the posts that
interested me.  I never wasted my time with the spams or the pee-pee
pictures.  So the end result is still the same to me, I read some posts
and ignore the rest.

Anyway, that's my take on this thread.

Ciao,

Dave
