<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Sylvie:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please don't leave the Daily Drool list. A
lot of what you said in your recent email about "standard English" and
"Bassetese" is quite true. I am a recent Drooler, so read everything with
interest in the hope of learning more about Basset Hounds and even in the short
time I've been on the list have picked up a lot of helpful
information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I find the Bassetese too hard to read - I don't
bother, which is too bad, since the point of posting is to get your message out
to many people. It means that their bit of information is not getting
through. Some people write Bassetese better than others - like any
language, it takes time to master writing it and therefore, reading
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope you will continue to read and post to the
list. Your messages count just as much as those of other Droolers.</FONT></DIV>
