The questions are now on the board, the link if anyone needs it is in Ms Cuddys signature – if anyone wishes to reply to a question then you can post here for the answer to be retrieved by the OP or on her blog whichever you prefer.

Hi,

Well I for one, have replied on her blog. 

I was very moved by the BC question because of my intense love of the breed and because so many remain trapped in distressing environments such as this with owners who are not brave enough to speak out before it gets too much for them.  This owner put her trust in the magazine and whatever you might feel about the editor – the mag IS a trusted source for many many dog owners out there.

The Think Tank is designed for everyone to share their dog experiences and for many shades of opinion to be expressed. Thanks to the moderator for posting all the questions in the body of my first post – as it was so long I thought it might be too much for everyone to plough through, but if it means more people read them then great. Someone may have been through something similar and be able to offer valuable insight – there’s been some great posts today so if any have come from this forum, thank you!

Best wishes
Beverley

i am clearly out of the loop here having been away for personal reasons but my take on this….

i am ‘blogged’ emailed pm’d every day…sometimes dozens at a time…lord knows what the state of my email box is…havnt looked yet…but…what i will say is that in my honest opinion it is unehtical to use a public forum that has an excellent knowledge base to get answers to give to clients 2nd or 3rd hand….and yep a blog page/think tank whatever it is called is a client base…a magazine’s customers are clients…if i posted client problems or potential client problems on here in order to obtain answers for them i would be slaughtered…what i do is encourage the questioners to join the board in order to benefit from the broad knowledge base that is on here….both from those of us that are professionals and those that are loving caring owners with experience and gained knowledge

i dont know what has been cut or why…all i know is that we have lost some valuable resources partly over what to me is a search for solutions to 2nd hand problems ….as i said unethical in my book

am back….am going to wade through all this and try to sort it out with colin….

and if this post fires things off i will lock it…and if that is heavy modding or viewed as bullying so be it…

And surely that’s what the experts associated with the magazine get paid for.

I’m happy to make suggestions on a public forum in some cases but not for someone else to make money from them.  As a professional, I’m not sure that my insurance would cover that! I wonder if the magazine’s professional indemnity covers advice from non-experts. Now, if a magazine wants to pay for my expertise, I might give it some consideration.

I get e-mails directed to myself that I can not answer.  I advise them that they may get ideas from the Forum.  I would have said that it may have been benificial to get the readers to post their questions.

I do question, do these individuals know they have had their names and locations posted on an open forum?  If they had e-mailed you direct, they may have only expected at the most that it be printed in the magazine.  I do write to anyone in a similar circumstance to gain their permission before posting their question, which is rare.

Indemnity aside, who holds the copyright on any question replied to on here?  I would say the person who posted it.  So to reprint the answer could be a breach of copyright.

Is this not simply a case of asking permission to reprint?  And if permission has been granted for the issues to be posted on this forum.

If both of the above situations are met, would that solve the problem?

So perhaps if people want to repost the solutions that others have offered on here, they should simply pm them to check??

Agreed, any reprinting of articles posted here should be done with specific permission of the person making the original post.

Not sure if Bevers2406 has done that with the original questions.  If I was asked if I could have my question posted elsewhere, I would be careful about having my details added.
