Re: [RC] Holy cow! News Flash! - Shari

Hi, Lynne - Nice of you to try and smooth things over, at least you
wrote an intelligent reply.  And I'm sorry I omitted the smiley
face.....but I don't think a whole page of smiley faces would cut it
with this crowd when they're on a crusade.  I was trying to make
peace over the whole subject, and you see where that went.  It only
goes to prove the the anti-barefoot bias in this genre.  What the
heck do they care if I want to keep my horse barefoot?  It's not
like I'm sneaking into their pastures at night and pulling off shoes.

Dear Shari,

Let's just get it out on the table.  The publications editor of
AERC/Endurance News is NOT an endurance rider!  This is nothing
PERSONAL.  In example, the photo which was chosen as January's cover
was ultimately rejected last minute (after much work on my part in
image prep) because the helmet strap on a junior wasn't tight enough. 
Oversight like that is important, to make sure our journal which goes
out to people worldwide properly represents the viewpoint of the
organization.

In further example, Kim Fuess' article on negative splits was rejected
when first submitted.  She went  to one of the AERC officers to get it
reconsidered, and it was ultimately published, I think, as is.  Maybe
you should consider that route.

If you are making a joke, make some allowance for the lack of nuance in
typewritten characters, and use a SMILEY or comment <grin> to insure
you aren't misunderstood.  Yeah, it may be overkill, but it will
prevent knee-jerk reactions.

intolerant of extreme viewpoints whether political or experiential--
and it is extremely gorgeous here, 72 degrees, I shot glorious poppies
today, so don't accuse me of not getting out enough on my currently
barefoot horses
