Wow, I go to lunch and I come back to this?
Well, I wanted to say that the idea of this post wasn't to offend anyone or single anyone out. I didn't construct this post based solely on my own opinion/observations, but rather from chatting with a number of other members who voiced the concerns I brought up in the original post and also from reading about all of the fights and accusations that are going on within YT.
There ARE people who join YT to advertise. I definitely don't think its
Brooke or
Jodi -- you guys have great stores. And Jodi - you helped me try to get those dogs away from that evil woman and raise money. I really like both of you a lot and think you are both awesome YT members (but who the hell am I to judge anyway?) All you have to do is click on a user's public profile and view "find more posts by this member" or whatever and you can see for yourself who they are.
I am definitely not offended by recommending a store of some sort. I recommend PetEdge to people probably once a week in my posts; they have great prices and I am a broke student. I am also not afraid to post on a thread where someone is selling a shirt or something for $20 and I saw it somewhere else for $4. I would want someone to do it for me.
I think that's all. Thanks for reading.
