Nobody's asked, but this is the second time you've offered
to tell. Huh.

This symbol "?", known as a question mark, indicates an interrogative
sentence, a question {hence the name}: not a statement. So, no, I wasn't
offering to tell anything.

Incidentally, you're correct: no one has asked me... Perhaps no one will
ever ask me! However, if anyone happens to ask, I will be prepared to
give a somewhat detailed, and documented response. Again I note, the
subject of my post poses a question, and does not offer any information.

Essentially, I just wanted to move any detracting rubbish out of
Carlton's thread. [I see one of your school mates was quick to join the
frenzy. LOL You two have is well deserved reputation--but you are
amusing.] Besides, I'm always eager to learn--even about euthanasia.

Me too, but saying that you're "eager to learn" does not, in
fact, mean that you're eager to learn. It just means that
you want to tell us that you're eager to learn, for whatever
reasons you may have. Your "just kill the dog now" post was
absolutely beyond the pale, and was a little sick and/or a
lot ignorant. I hope that what you meant to say was "I
think many people wait too long." You have absolutely no
way of knowing what kind of the shape the dog is actually in
and it was revolting to do a long-distance death
prescription based on nothing but your own considerable biases.
