Re: [Alpacasite] Re: F&R Guide questionable value

I was amused that there was a supplement published to the FRG which was supposed to take care of errors and newbies. I had done some emailing from the original FRG and found that there is about a 10% error rate with email addresses. Well one would hope that the supplement had the errors licked...... experienced the same 10% error rate again. From a data base and membership point of view this is disappointing - and so far the FRG has not been charged for. How happy are farm and ranch owners when they are paying for information with a 10% error rate???

That's a fair request - it's hard accepting criticism without good
alternative ideas.

I suggest that while the final recommendation must come the from
committees and the final decision will always rest with the board, I
don't see why a "pros and cons" discussion of various ideas and
proposals right here on alpacasite would not be a valid source of input.

I realize that not everyone who signs on to alpacasite is an AOBA
member, but you never know where good ideas or improvements to make
already good ideas great might come from. A/S is a very large group
of people who have quite a vested interest in alpacas; if an idea is
unpopular (as presented) here there's a pretty good chance it would be
unpopular with members too. And, it's cheap to ask for input - no
expensive studies, no travel, no high-priced consultants - on A/S and
you can be sure of getting a diverse range of opinions. Just ask,
you'll get more input than you know what to do with probably!

I wonder how the board/committees get member input now?
