What is The Daily Drool?


Postings ranging from care and feeding of your basset to questions relating to medication and illness are welcome - and of course everyone loves sharing those zany basset stories. If you wish to discuss training, conformation, obedience, seek comfort over the loss of a cherished basset, or find the best way to handle any aspect of basset ownership, you will find it all on THE DAILY DROOL.
You can change this in your email preferences.
If you are seeking an environment wherein participants regularly share one another's basset hound joys and sorrows, this is the place for you. Anything that may reasonably be seen to have a relationship to basset hounds and/or to people-basset relations may be posted here. There are some exceptions which are listed in DROOL RULES.

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE DROOL RULES

THE DAILY DROOL is not the place for flames in any form. If this rule is broken, the offending subscriber will be removed from the list.
Deliberate attempts to disrupt the list, use it to discuss other topics unrelated to basset hounds, or use it as a format for position statements or axe-grinding will be frowned upon and the offenders will be asked by the moderators to cease. THE DAILY DROOL is, first and foremost, a place for people who love basset hounds.
Only rescue or Basset Hound BHCA Club fundraising posts are acceptable. No commercial posting of any kind is allowed on the list. Please keep fundraising posts to an initial announcement, perhaps followed up by a final reminder before the fundraiser is over.
Members of the Daily Drool under no circumstances should use the list to 'pick off' addresses for the purpose of sending *unwanted* email - chain, spam, commercial or otherwise. Failure to adhere to the rule will result in suspension of membership.

The sale of basset hound puppies via THE DAILY DROOL is prohibited although litter announcements and puppy updates are most welcome. Rescue and adoption placement requests are acceptable postings as well.

Prior to being posted on the Drool, all messages are reviewed for appropriateness by the moderators. Inappropriate messages sent to the list, including but not limited to posts that are abusive, offensive, designed to disrupt the friendly Drool environment, or do not otherwise adhere to the Drool Rules may be rejected at the moderators’ discretion.

Because members tend to be passionate and care deeply about certain issues, there will be times when members disagree with one another. Friendly disagreements and discussion are encouraged, both on and off list, provided that members remain respectful of one another and other Droolers. If a member receives a private e-mail from another member that is abusive, harassing in nature, or offensive, the member should calmly ask the offending person to stop sending him/her private e-mail messages. If the offender continues to e-mail after being asked to stop, the member should report the incident to the moderators and forward all correspondence between the two parties, including but not limited to the request to the offending member to cease e-mail communication. The moderators will determine what action, if any, needs to be taken at that point.

FORWARDING OR SUPPLYING THE DAILY DROOL TO ANYONE NOT ON OUR DAILY DROOL SUBSCRIBER LIST IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN AND WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE AND IRREVOCABLE CANCELLATION OF SUBSCRIPTION.

None of the forementioned is intended to stifle discussion; it *is* intended to ensure that problems do not arise and take over civilized, thoughtful discussions. These rules have been developed to avoid future misunderstandings. Please consider THE DAILY DROOL as many of us do, as an extended family, a place to share, care and learn back to top
