 Iffy
My concern was that someone new to the breed and someone new to the forum will look at these postings and become confused. We throw a lot of terms out and those terms can have a slight twist to each memeber and our set of values. New folks will look at these posts and use them to help determine thier set of values
In another thread a broker was described as anyone who helps another sell their puppies. They might be a friend you help, it can be someone who conatct you and wants to buy your litter- we never did agree what classified a broker.
Terms and names get sticky when we throw them out and each of us use them with a different meaning.
I was afraid that a new member would look on the for sale wanted pape and see a posting that has been placed by a member of a classifed or internet ad and think that is was an endorsement or a refferal when in fact the member is just stating " hey look at what I found". Memebrs stated that we should be very careful about who is allowed to advertise on the forum in the - for sale section- good idea and I agree- but we are defeating our own - when we place those ads that we know nothing about the breeder for all to see because we can be placing the very folks that you do not want on the forum front and center.
