Hi Rich,
I can explain...Rich Montoya and his son being the new wave of interested hobbyists came over last night, looking at animals, talking shop, etc...He expressed his discontent with being banned from KS and had never heard of the BOI on fauna. So, being the helpful guy that I am, I sat him down in front of my computer and turned him loose while I cleaned.
Not only would any posts on KS show an IP coming from HIS house, but any future ones on fauna would also. I see your point though...very suspect in appearance...... Rich is a guy who lives here in town and bought some animals from me at wholesale and thought he'd get a KS account. I am still Barry(Spectrum Reptiles) and I'm still a bit confused as to why he got banned, but knowing how the "KS police" are, it doesn't surprise me. I gave him his $100 that Barringer wouldn't refund just because he knew me. I didn't know I had spies on the lookout for me..HA HA! Rich is a real person and if your ever in San Diego, I'll introduce you to him.
On another note, I had emailed Jeff showing him a post on his own site where the very well known seller is offering some VERY expensive animals on KS that are not his at all and is posting them for another party in another state. I could care less about what people do, but I did care to see what type of integrity Jeff had and what he'd do about that. I wanted to see if he would stay true to his own TOS regardless of who posts, but just as I thought, he didn't terminate that persons account. Many of our own peers have pushed VERY good people out of this hobby over politics. It's also the reason why all these new laws will slowly start being passed prohibiting us keeping herps. We can't get 10 of us reptile people to get into a room and agree on the same thing to save our lives. I know of 2 guys who have successfully bred some of the rarest turtles on a reg basis only to just pull out altogether and not want to be a part of this hobby. Sad.......
Nobody's busted Kelli....Just guilty by association I guess.......I just hope Fauna visitors will not fall into the same catagory as KS and attend "witch hunts" against other folks...
