Been reading the assorted comments from the list about the commerical use of
the list to market products.
Well, I have NOT noticed a real problem here.
I have noted about 4 retailers making references to their products.
ME--- V-MAX /EPT
Running Bear Farm Teddy
Safe Haven Diane
Blue Wolf Lindia
Aust Conn Janet

and maybe one or 2 others.
I do not see us abusing the list with comments about products we sell. Most
of us are very low key.
I believe I have offered solutions to problems by advising about the use of
the products I sell.
No hard sell just facts.
Most of us put much back into this sport, giving back some of what we get
from our customers (profits) to support the sport and assorted rides.
The biggest supporters of our sport over the past years have been RBF- Teddy,
Aust Connection-Janet and Sportack-Janneen.
We also believe our support has been worthy of mention. Many of us offer
solid advise based on many years of experince as well as great products to
help both horse and rider.
Many of the 'dealers' have quite a back-ground in this sport. We know about
what we say. Teddy has been around for 20+ years with many miles. I have over
6000m and 20 years of experience. We who maket products reconize the
problems, and now offer some solutions with our products.
Many new and seasoned riders on the list have no other access to finding out
about these products.
Home pages are great but does everyone on the list go to them?
Anyway I dont think any of us are abusing the list with ads.
