dont say I never spammed ya

Also, did you know thet world is FLAT???
If you go near the edge, you will FALL OFF!
True story.

Tactically Observant Spaghetti

So... We're going to detect spammers by giving spammers our email addresses?

Um... no. The email addresses are already there; and we'd be telling people (in the TOS) to send a mod a copy of their intro. If spammers haven't found and used our emails by now; why would they if we put that in the TOS? We aren't giving spammers anything. Not sure how you got that.

I didn't read the TOS.

 You're already a member.



  We don't have to do it. It was just an idea. We've only gotten a few real people who actually wanted to sign up in the past few years anyway, and almost all of those are already gone (except the cool ones like Wunderkind). I figured since we make a big deal of reading the TOS; that would be a good place to put an instruction for potential real members. If they read it and send us an email; we can be pretty certain it's a real person interested in joining rather than a spammer or bot, or someone just looking to post "HELP ME!" and then disappear.
  We can certainly use a different, single email address checked by all. I just figured since our profiles have email addys for members already, it would be sensible to just use those. But I'm game for whatever; to include ditching the idea entirely.

What do y'all think about putting a requirement somewhere in the TOS that anyone wishing to become a member email any mod or admin a copy of their intro post. When we get said email, we'll know its a real person who 1. read the TOS, and 2. actually wishes to become a member - enough to pick a mod and email us.

Just an idea. I haven't 'woodshedded' it yet, so have at it.

 Ok, I usually delete all the "OMG!!" emails I get; but this one I decided to pass
the info along. I know a lot of us have pets. I've given my dog and cat oatmeal -raisin
cookies without knowing it could make him (teh Dog) very sick. He never showed any signs of
illness; but then again he didn't get very many cookies, either.

 At any rate, here's the info - in the form of an "OMG!!!!" email. I just dont feel like paraphrasing
when I'm so good at copy/paste.

This week I had the first case in history of raisin
toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was
a 56-pound 5 yr old male neutered lab-mix
that ate half-a-canister of raisins sometime
between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He
started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about
1 AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't call
my emergency service until 7 AM (6 hrs later).

I had heard somewhere about raisins AND
grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't
seen any formal paper on the subject. We
had her bring the dog in immediately. In the
meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet,
and the doctor there was like me - had heard
something about it, but... Anyway, we
contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison
Control Center and they said to give IV fluids
at 1 & 1/2 times maintenance and watch the
kidney values for the next 48-72 hours.
The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen) level was
already at 32 (normal less than 27) and his
creatinine was over 5 (1.9 is the high end of normal).
Both are monitors of kidney function in the
bloodstream. We placed an IV catheter and
started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values
at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine
over 7 with no urine production after a liter of
fluids. At that point I felt the dog was in acute
renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a
urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight
as well as overnight care.
He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet
and his renal values continued to increase
daily. He produced urine when given Lasix as a
diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting
medications and they still couldn't control his
vomiting. Today his urine output decreased
again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was
at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his
blood pressure, which had been staying around
150, skyrocketed to 220 ... He continued to vomit
and the owners elected to Euthanize.

This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners
who had no idea raisins could be a toxin.
Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of
this very serious risk.
Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could
be toxic. Many people I know give their dogs grapes
or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any
exposure should give rise to immediate concern.
 Chocolate, cocoa, onions, avocadoes and macadamia nuts can
be fatal, too. Add to this - rising bread dough, caffeine and alcohol
and you have the list of the greatest food dangers for dogs.

Everyone knows I'm the most loquacious one here.

This is true.
