Well this was an interesting read.
Chat u beat me. Sorry #vet. I have been posting since 06 and I lurked a while before that. I have personally seen bandwagoning in full effect. Remember Mike & Mary's?

From what I am reading of this thread.....no one wants to spend the time to research. It's even been said that they don't want to comb thru threads. Welp...it's your money...hundreds of dollars at that. Why would u not spend the time to research? I have gotten burned by recommending vendors and just puttin' my vendor infomation out there when I used to post pics. And errytime within' weeks the prices shot up.
I do realize the game has changed but some of you ladies need to realize the number of lurkers who never never never post but will read these threads and take the information. The members who post and contribute are not the ones driving quality down....it's the thousands (yes thousands) who lurk at any given time. And please believe all the lurkers are not all black women. You have women of other races who will lurk LW/weaves.
I have no prollem sharing my info in the street and on here. But nowadays...on The BHM I will share via PM only. It is what it is. If you really want vendor information...have the stones to send a PM. The person can only tell you yay or nay. It is too much info (especially in the archives) out here to be gettin' mad feelin' some type of way tho.
I don't think anyone was rude to start with. This snarkiness started because it was felt that the answers that were given for the original question were not "good enough". Bottom Line. *shrugs*
