Why does this forum exist?

The forum description details "For use by LFSs (Aquarium stores) and other Aquarium related businesses for posts of commercial nature including stock lists, business announcements, specials, employment opportunities, etc and for MASx Members to provide feedback on business that uses RTAW Forum. The rules for this forum are outlined in the RTAW Rules, Policies and Disclaimers."

I do not recall reading anywhere in that statement where it says "for the joy of users to mock and ridicule business" for making the effort to provide hobbyists with stock/price information.

In most cases what is posted is an "offer to buy" whether you choose to buy or not to buy is your right, however, it is not your right to reply that what is being offered maybe on offer somewhere else at a cheaper price. Perhaps there are reasons why the price is such, maybe the specimens are bigger in size, maybe the collecting practises are different, maybe the store has higher overheads, maybe the business model is in place for the long term, there are countless reasons of why there maybe a pricing difference but at the end of the day your call is merely "yes I will" or "no I won't" nothing more nothing less.

Please respect those business' which make their time available to provide you with a service and respect this forum for what it was intended for.
