The registrar's job is a huge one every single year.  I cannot imagine them
not being upset by the remarks.  If there is an error in the information it
would be theresponsibility of the hybridizer to check themselves. And notify
the registrar as soon as they received the Certificate of Registration if
something is wrong.  Proof reading the information is a huge job and
(volunteers) surely do the best they can with the information they have been
given to check.  Being a volunteer is just that volunteer.  And believe me a
good volunteer is a blessing to the registrar as well as any other person who
needs volunteer help to do the jobs at hand.  So get the hybridizers to check
their entries on the AIS online database as they have the time.  Being as
small a number of intruductions as I have, checking is easy.  Those with
larger numbers of introductions it will take them more time.  The online
database is still evolving and can be improved only with the help of many.
After all, we are all volunteers in one way or another. Support of the
registrar is a better route to take.  This is Just my humble opinion of
course.  And yes I am one of those volunteers doing jobs for the various AIS
Societies....and I enjoy doing it.  It is better to keep things on the
positive side as the public is indeed watching and reading comments.  So this
is my thanks to the registrars and what they do.  Without them the R & I's
would not be available at all.Carol
