In addition to Deb's excellent point, I'd also like to remind folks that stickied threads do NOT stop people from asking the same questions over and over again. We may never know how many people actually USE the FAQ stickies to learn what 1.1 means, for instance, but we still see that question posed over and over again, just as often as we had before creating the FAQ pages.
A stickied thread that listed "good breeders" would be a constant maintenance drain with folks demanding that we add so-n-so to the list...folks suddenly bailing from the biz and selling off their collections...and constant arguments about who should and should not be on such a list.
It's SO easy to find good breeders. Anyone doing basic research on how to care for the new pet they want should be able to figure out how to find reputable breeders to buy from. And if someone is simply too lacking in the brains department to figure out how to find that information, or simply too lazy to look for it...I'm not inclined to spoon-feed it to them so that they can go out and buy a living creature that they are not smart enough or too lazy to take care of.
