Gentle Readers... Auctions for ferret shelters are great, but.... putting them on a social network site, that requires a login for access, is just plain bad for your auction/fund raiser. Many people will not use a social network, due to the inherit danger of computer disaster. More and more companies are banning access to them from company computers, due to the nasties found within...Facebook being the worst of the lot. So...with Sandy creating a ruckus on the East Coast, and a much-needed fundraiser for the Oregon Ferret Shelter on the Left Coast, think twice about restricting access to the fundraisers to Facebook and similar ilk.
