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. -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm Liverpool, England, UK Emails welcome Nanki Poo: SI O+W B 12 Y L+ W++ C+ I T+ A- E H++ V- F Q P+ B+ PA+ PL SC Minke: SI W+Cp B 3 Y L W+ C++ I T A- E H++ V++ F- Q- P B PA+ PL+ SC- Substitute .org for .com else URLs/eddresses will fail after 2007 |

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 |

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. Hugs, CatNipped |

It sure is a long list what is the list used for? 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. -- David Stevenson Storypage: http://blakjak.com/sty_menu.htm Liverpool, England, UK Emails welcome Nanki Poo: SI O+W B 12 Y L+ W++ C+ I T+ A- E H++ V- F Q P+ B+ PA+ PL SC Minke: SI W+Cp B 3 Y L W+ C++ I T A- E H++ V++ F- Q- P B PA+ PL+ SC- Substitute .org for .com else URLs/eddresses will fail after 2007 |

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.
