er, rather, was an f___ing idiot: Never again.  Although we have used this
medicine in the past with large dogs that have had hip problems.  But I
should have done a Google search first....
Again, thanks to all with words of kindness, to those more harsh: live and
let live.

Scot, I'm sorry for your loss.  I guess one point to remember is that cats
are very different from dogs and most human medicines that dogs can
tolerate very well are disastrous for cats.  I always check with my vet or
other cat owners before I give any human medicine to my cats.

Excuse me, but I am not an idiot.  Thank you very much.

Did you see your name anywhere   was it include in my post.
I was talking about AZ just because you post is above mine means nothing
It was not even listed by the server when I posted mine when you assume  you
end up becoming the first 3 letters

Then maybe you should specify who you are calling an idiot.  You said:

"Scott FYI not smart to post you personal information on the web idiots
like above can be a nuisance"

Ummmm since my post was above yours (and sent before yours timewise as
shown in the headers), what do you expect me to think?  Perhaps you are the
real idiot.

Patty,

What is the problem? He addressed it to SCOTT, that's the first word in
his post.

He also properly linked the response to Scott's post, not to yours.
Doesn't your newsreader show the links?

You need to at least hide that chip on of your shoulder.

Thanks Rhonda   well said.
For that person that just started posting this week.  She is already getting
off to a bad start.  It is a good way to end up in a kill file or a good way
to start a good flaming

Matthew I do apologize, but your post was not clear at all.  I'm still
wondering who all those idiots above are?  Ok, so you think it's not
relevant that you called "someone" an idiot, but it was a poor way to say
what you were trying to tell the OP, IMHO.  All you needed to say that it's
not a good idea to put all his personal infomation in his posts, since some
people ( who are idiots) may be a problem.  It's also not a good idea to
use a real email address in NGs since spam harvesters gather them on a
regular basis.

You're making it appear that what you thought Matthew was saying is
actually true...

Look in the other post  who is acting like idiot there is no doubt who is.
Make your decision from there.
Apology accepted by the way

I think being a troll could be fun and useful
Look at all the stuff that was generated and the air that was cleared.  ;-)
