the public is rarely interested in show results...pedigrees..but are interested in event information..the breeders directory..product information and perhaps Review info and have access to the NIS when finished...this is why I suggested that pedigrees and show results be limited. Perhaps expanding the site would be an idea..how about bios..such as appeared in Gails' "the Best of"..or in the back of the Red Book..how about an PC site Red Book...again..members only...we need to market our site as being the most informative site for the Breed. it needs to be visually appealing and chuck full of information...it should be worth a nominal associate membership fee.C.Grainger > [Original Message] > From: <ELG440@xxxxxxx> > To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 8/22/2005 10:17:19 PM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] A lost opportunity > > > > In a message dated 8/22/2005 6:26:14 P.M.
