elcome to the PDML. You both do very nice work. It's great to have you here. And Karen's drawings are exceptional. I really enjoyed them. You'll also find there are some other people here who are involved in showing dogs. William Robb chief among them.
The agreement not to mention ebay auctions (which is by no means unanimous but probably a narrow majority) has to do with protecting the interests of those who spend A LOT OF TIME perusing ebay listings for exceptional bargains. Many of us felt that pointing out good ebay deals here would drive prices up. We thought that those who spend a lot of time looking for the best merchandise should benefit. If someone randomly mentions good ebay prices for desirable Pentax equipment, there will probably be some objections. On the other hand, mentions of non-Pentax equipment is fine, as are warnings about auctions that appear to be scams. We also encourage or at least tolerate members listing their own auctions. (I did just that a couple of hours ago, so I want to be certain to point out that it's okay to do just that.:-)
I will look forward to seeing more of your posts and more of your work.

having just joined, i'm curious why 'ebay' shouldn't be mentioned?
since i read one email about items for sale i assume it is ok to do so?
thanks.
