RE: KittyCatS Mentor Program
I was suggesting a solution to a problem. The inability to manage groups was not my focus. The ability to have a central location/platform to concentrate questions, answers, and sharing breeding information was. Let me explain and see maybe if someone else can add or enhance to it. Even if it was section on the forums here or a separate site. The addicts group is awesome, and I love it however you can step away for one second and suddenly look up and 40 people have said something. Questions people ask get lost in the chat all the time. It's more social than anything else. Which is as it should be. It's fun to join the chat and talk to others and see what they are up to.
The problem seems to be that more men-tees is needing mentors. Because of the shortage I was offering a short term solution, because if I was absolutely confident in my breeding theories I would be happy to volunteer. It would be outgrown I'm sure once enough mentors was out there to support the demand.
A lot of people learn visually and just asking questions is sometimes not enough and they need visual aid, which is why I would love to go to the classes. I don't think the general addicts group would appreciate being spammed with a lot of pedigrees which is my suggestion for a separate group or forum outlet.
I thought with group notices, which I thought a group already exist for breeders, it would be easy to post questions, maybe even a pedigree (with parentage maybe linked to a picture) and get answers that way. If it was supported enough I would even put a web forum up dedicated to just posting breeder questions and pictures of the lineage.
I don't want to offend anyone and I know the first thought is "Not another group" but people want to learn and not all can learn what they need by just asking a question. That is usually why some questions are repeated by the same person continuously. They need that visual aid, I happen to be one of those when it comes to I need both. I've asked the questions and understand about genes and it all makes sense, but seeing it in my breeding projects is a whole new "click" in my head as to what works.
Now that I probably have offended someone and had to much to say I'll go back to my cattery.
