Evil Internet

[greenstorm]

I hate the internet.

I'm attempting to find a local rat breeder, and remembering just how much the 'net sucks if you want anything up-to-date. People have webpages from three or four years ago up, with email addresses that no longer function. Professional ratteries have webpages that say: we are not breeding rats right now, but here are some pictures. Rat clubs and general-interest rat websites, as well as Canadian rat forums, have plenty of rats and breeders available on the East Coast. There is not a single website, after two hours of searching, that has:

1) a valid email address or other contact
and
2) some indication that rats are currently being bred/offered currently

I am very annoyed. So, here's my attempt at using the internet in a useful way, as a networking tool, rather than like a museum for defunct sales brochures.

Does anyone out there know of a vancouver-local rat breeder that socialises/handles their rats?

Now I need to figure out how to post to a community, and stick that up in Vancouver, too. *sigh* The SO says: Oh, posting to a community is easy, you just do X. I say: I can't do X, there's no option for it. He says: Of course there is! Oh, wait... you're right. Weird. But he still does not figure out how to make it work for me. You'd think, with all these computer folks floating around...

Hi miss. To post to a community you need to 'join' the community. If you just add it to your friends list you are simply 'watching' the community. To join, click on the community icon and click 'join'.
