This note is in here three times. Is this really necessary?
Prospective buyers will probably find this a bit of a turnoff.

| Where do you see it 3 times? I replied to one note and put one
in myself.....

| 4376.3 | overkill! | USAMTS::MTS_METRICS | Home is where the Cat is | Tue Feb 12 1991 13:41 | 6 |
| It was put in note 415, the adoption note. It was added again as
a reply to a note from someone looking for a himalayan, and again
posted here as a new note.
cin...who also got tired of looking at it!

| re: .1 Karen and .3 Cin.
Before you go off criticizing you should get your facts straight.
I put an ad in the adoption notes file. My name is Sharon, not
Betty. My user name is Shallan not Allan. Betty Allan replied to
one note and entered an ad to sell her kitten. I count 2 not 3.
So your tired of looking at two entries that Betty put in for her
kitten. Is that any reason to be rude? This is the FELINE notesfile
isn't it?

| Wow, what a weird coincidence! I think most people who didn't *very
carefully* notice the username and who signed each note might easily
assume that it was the same person advertising the same kitten. Or
if they did notice the different names, they might assume it was the
same kitten being advertised by different family members. After all,
these kittens are the same breed, the same color, the same age, and
belong to people with the same last name! An honest mistake, no? I
guess that just goes to show that one should read carefully and never
assume anything...
Also, I don't think anyone intended to be rude or criticize -- at least
I didn't read it that way.
Just my opinion,

| Okay, there is no reason for everyone to start getting upset.
Most people reading this file use the "next unseen" command to read,
and therefore all the replies in the file are seen. Because of this,
it is felt that it is not necessary to enter the same reply or bit of
information more than once.
Many years ago the adoption topic was created to help keep the file clean
and to have a central repository for information about kittens and cats
that were available for adoption, sale, etc.
It is always a good idea to try to keep a notesfile as small as
possible, thus using up less disc space. If the time ever comes that
Feline needs a new home, it will be much easier to find someone that
can take it on if the file isn't an unmanageable size. With so many
notesfiles going away, I am sure that folks in this file are concerned.

| re .5
Well I guess there is something to that old saying 'Look before you
Leap'. Yes, it's coincidental. notes .1 and especially .3 struck
me as VERY sarcastic and there's no need for that in this notesfile.
If you don't want to read about a certain type of kitten, there's no
reason to attack the person entering the note, simply go to the next
unseen.
