Bully Sticks... Natural Dog Treat
I don't buy stuff from people who
advertise on Usenet for several reasons: 1) these are discussion groups, not advertising fora, and if everybody who had something to sell brought it here the newsgroups would be unusable ############### This is a newsgroup is about dogs. Dogs chew bully sticks..they sell bully sticks.. it all relates. If you don't want to buy something or read about it...then don't. I personally don't mind reading about products that I might be interested in. Don't ellme what I can or cannot see. BG |

I'd *love* an AbMaster 3000! Tell me more!!"), not only are the ads inappropriate for Usenet, they're often scams or from companies that can't actually deliver product. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Imaginary stock returns don't offset real benefit cuts |

It's pretty silly to walk into a newsgroup and define for everybody what the group's about - that's actually set at the time the group is created. The charter for this group is as follows: rec.pets.dogs.behavior This group is for the discussion of typical behavioral problems with dogs. Examples include but are not limited to: digging, barking, aggressive behavior, housetraining, crate training, etc. Also appropriate is discussion of "why" dogs behave as they do and how to work with that to eliminate some behaviors and reinforce others. (source: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/dogs-faq/introduction/) Granted, discussions frequently do go off-topic here - a not-uncommon phenomenon on Usenet. But to answer to the question of whether ads for chew toys are on-topic or not, all you need to do is to consult the group's charter to see that they're not. HTH, Dianne |
