I feel that Derrick just wanted input from the forum whether or not something was common practice with purchasing from a large breeder. He didn't want to put the name of the breeder out there, and confided in another member with a private message. Then the name was released even though the OP never intended to give it out. Now I understand some people's desire to have all the details of the transaction and communication, for what precise reason I am not sure... It may be because they just want everything to be clear and info to be available for all buyers/sellers/whatever... Or it may be because they want to blow something up... I'm not speculating either way and am not trying to say anything negative here. BUT.... The OP just wanted a general question answered and ended up having more exposed than he wished.... And in my opinion, it's his right to give whatever level of info that he wishes to. Just my 2 cents....
