Chris has set NAFEX up with areas focused on specific interest areas, and this one is the area for the AFC. NAFA has one of its own as well.
Geoff,
With all due respect, I think that you are making some sort of assumption(s) here. That is not entirely your fault since I searched and cannot find any sort of rule
that says you are NOT correct but I also could not substantiate that you ARE correct.

Chris sets up these forums for a number of reasons. One is for sponsor companies like MRT and Western Sporting to interface with customers and potential customers.
I would agree that with the exception of legitimate product gripes (I bought an xyz and it does not in fact core a apple as advertised) doing stuff like talking about
a competitor would be in poor taste. Those vendors pay for advertising to support our ability to pontificate and share the 999 opinions per 1000 falconers.

With respect to NAFA and AFC forums it is somewhat less clear. As far as I can tell neither pays for their respective sub forum and what Chris's intentions are
I cannot say. Perhaps we need some clarification from him as to what the rules are.

Are these sub forums for open discussions relevant to issues pertaining to NAFA and AFC or are they for those organizations to thump their chests free of
someone calling "BS" on them so their dues paying members can have a nice warm feeling of money well spent?

Chris?
