A Minimum Of Courtesy Options

[yamato38gunkei]

Dear RG members,

Every day, I receive several emails and PM from RG members. It is great that RG members send me messages. Many times, these messages are very short and rude ! I want to let all these people know that I do not answer this kind of emails and PM.

I think that it is very rude to ask for information, to ask to buy Ranchu, to ask for help etc. and not even have the decency to introduce yourself.

Many emails and PM are no longer than :

"Do you sell Ranchu ?" - "I need your help." - "Let me know how I can breed my Ranchu." "What is the price of your Ranchu ?"

I am sure many of you will know what I mean. I hope these people now understand why I did not answer their messages.

Regards,

Geert Coppens

Dear RG members,

My message is not meant to offend anyone, to point anyone in particular with the finger or to start a riot. I just receive too many of this kind of PM and emails. I just wanted to let certain people know why they do not receive any answer from me. Believe me, I am not that difficult.

People have to understand that creating a Ranchu bloodline takes a lot of time, effort and money. It always disappoints me when people think it is just as easy to buy my Ranchu as buying a book in a bookshop. They are my children for God's sake !

The same with sharing information... I want to help EVERYONE. All the information that I share is out of my own experience. It takes years of trial and error to have this knowledge. I want to help everyone to take the shortcut, but try to be a LITTLE polite !

That's all folks,

Geert Coppens
