I am having an unusual problem with this person and am wondering if anyone else knows of him. I am not the type known to recklessly hurt anyone's reputation, but this is eating at me. Apparently, "Bill" considers himself a "middle-man" of some sort between reptile breeders and potential customers. He recently joined my Yahoo Club {The Waving Dragon} and proceeded to, very blatantly, use the message board as an advertising tool for his "business". This is not only against this club's rules but also, the Yahoo Club regulations. He was called on it and proceeded to get very rude and disrespectful...again using each of his responses as a plug for his line of work. I deleted his original post and notified him and the other members of the reason for this. The remainder of the communications can be viewed on the message board at the club as it would be too lengthy to post here. My issue is this: Prior to this all happening, this person had contacted me with this strange inquiry: "Good morning I am looking for sales of bearded dragons can U help me?. I own just_lizards@y... which is buying/selling/tradeing and I have someone looking for a bearded dragon what kind I'm not sure" Needless to say, this was a little unsettling and very unprofessional. The "little voice" in the back of my mind is screaming caution at me. Although I have no real facts, just an interaction with him, I suppose this is just a bit of a warning to deal with this person carefully. Also, word has gotten back to me that someone who calls himself "Dark_Prince48" on Yahoo is telling members of my club that I am asking them to leave. (???) I don't know if there is a connection between these two people or if they are one and the same. I am just hoping that this is not some unscrupulous person trying to make big bucks at the expense of "True" herpetoculturists. Please, just beware.
