Lately I've been looking more and more into how to get tail docking off the table for the AKC. The AKC gets their breed standard from the PWCCA. I was hoping I could get inside the PWCCA as a member, but it looks like membership is contingent on showing dogs.

I know some of the people on the board of the PWCCA and they're so adamant about docking, it's almost religious. It's just really frustrating as an American knowing that the majority of Corgi's will continue to lose their tails because of some old wives tails. There’s no strong modern medical reason to dock a corgi’s tail. The practice is mostly historical and cosmetic today. In old Britain, working dogs were taxed differently, and docking helped identify them as working animals.

Today none of these reasons exist. It made sense when you were a week away from town vet driving cattle, and did it to mitigate injury to your dog. These days majority of Corgi's are non working, and if they were a vet is just a car ride away.

Just wondering if anyone in the greater US Corgi community would want to brainstorm on how we can convince the PWCCA to cut docking from the standard?

Also my American girl with a tail for tax. She's AKC, but I lucked out with a no-dock breeder.

Through my internet travels I came across this software. Seems like something a KJ might use to dial in a room. Looks like a lot of audiophiles are already using it, wondering if anyone from our community is using it?

Disclaimer: I haven't downloaded or looked at it, and it's not my software. Given how many people use it and how busy their forums are I think we can forgo the normal "Software Promotion" rule and safety checks. If this was dangerous, someone would be talking about it. This is more a less to satiate my own curiosity if anyone here about using it in relation to karaoke.

Hello r/karaoke

It is my distinct pleasure to welcome u/DavidO_Pgh to the moderation team. As some of you have seen in the last few months there's been some changes to the sub with more of a greater focus and direction on community. Some of this has created some extra workload, and I've been eying David for some time to join our team of moderators.

Some of you may or may not know this, but in the moderator panel, reddit actually uses some algorithm to recommend you a moderator, and he was always at the top of reddit's list too.

Let's all welcome David to the team!

Just want to thank everyone for participating in the Karafun AMA. I think it was our highest upvoted and most commented post ever.

I’m currently talking to someone from Singa and we have an opportunity to present a similar AMA.

If there’s enough interest we’d follow the same format, maybe a little better run than the last one in about 2 weeks from now.
