Do we need another sticky?
Is anyone else getting frustrated by people who make one "looking to adopt" post, leave their phone number and/or e-mail address, and then never return to check their replies?
Do we need another sticky that says something to the effect of, "This is not an on-line classified listing. It's a bulletin board where information is shared with all members & visitors. Please don't post once and disappear. No one from this board will call or e-mail you with the info you're looking for. They'll post it here for all to see. So if you really want their advice, please come back to read it."? Sorry, just my pet peeve for the day...

Yes, it annoys me greatly, especially when people here go to the trouble to find suitable pets and post their pics and info and give advice and the OP never returns.
Same for when someone asks medical advice and says "email me the answer".  I could put up a sticky, but apparently no one reads the ones already up, so I feel it would be futile.

No..an excercise in futility would be to place another sticky thread in the "Pet Health" forum!!!
 How many times do people post a poor animal that needs immediate vet care??? "Please see your vet" "Please see your vet" I'm like a broken record,here!!! If there wasn't a poor innocent life at stake, I wouldn't bother communicating with these people that obviously can't read. Whew. Sorry, that's me rant of the day.

Oh, good! So it's not just me who wants to
 .You're right, Lucky, the ones who read them are the ones who already know the issues. Guess I'll just have to learn to steer clear of those threads. You almost want to e-mail them and say, "Hello? Did you want our advice or not??".

I'm sorry,but the one that gets me is when their animal is VERY sick and they can't afford to take them to a vets.But want us to come up with a quick fix for their pet.
Yes,I know this happens.But I'm sorry,do these people think that their pets will never get sick? GRRRRRRRR
