[AlpacaTalk] Re: AOBA and unsubscribing

Sorry! I put the alpacatalk address in the window, but there are two of
them- oops!
I just joined this group for another site to talk alpacas, there is the
political site for everything else, now this is being talked about on three
different sites...

I disagree with you Heather, I see your posts as being inflammatory, but we
all are different, that's what makes us all individuals! :)
Take care,
Rachelle
