Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: advertising

Hi Katy,
We did talk about that here a while back. I think it would be a fun
idea, and I also think there would need to be some limits and rules
regarding it. I would hate to see post after post from a certain farm
like what happened on Alpaca Market a few weeks ago. Boy was that
annoying, and I doubt if it was very successful for the poster!

So let's revive this topic and decide on some rules!

And I don't remember if I replied to Shirley's post, but I agree, ARF
does need all the support we can give it, and advertising the
herdsire auction is acceptable to me.
