  373.    These faqs are written by different readers of RPD who have experience
  374.    with the breed in question. While in many cases (not all!) I post
  375.    them. you should direct any questions to the authors of the FAQ rather
  376.    than automatically to me.
  377.    
  378.    You are encouraged to volunteer to write new breed faqs, please
  379.    contact me at rpd-info@netcom.com for details. I am happy to help you
  380.    archive the faqs properly; however, you may decide to do it yourself
  381.    or keep them offical; whatever. Please do let me know about it,
  382.    though, so I can list it here.
