BOY, did I strike a nerve with my “Igno” column. The letters poured in, and every one was positive. Not only did you outdo yourselves in your impassioned support, but some of the hair-raising examples you cited from your own contact with the breed were better than mine.

The letters were also notable for a corollary subject that kept popping up. Many of you asked what caused me to become such a voracious reader. I’m often asked this, so I might as well answer it here and now, but if it isn’t the inspirational story you expected, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
