I was asked by a friend to look at this discussion.
This looks like just another incidence of Lick N trying to bully people and run them out of town to benefit his own business, while pretending that it is for the good of the community. (Have a look here:
http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=23287 ) And many of us already know how untrustworthy and confrontational Dei is.
I have no idea why anyone would set up a profiler on private land, since their purpose is to display the cat's pedigree further back than just the parents and to list them on the Web Market:
http://kittycats.info/market Why would you do that if the cat weren't for sale?
I love the profilers and their Web Market listing and search abilities, and think they are a wonderful tool for our community. I already choose to not participate in any auctions that don't use them, as by not having them set up and listed on the website, those auctioneers are not doing their best to help sell the panels.
I do agree that I wouldn't pay an additional fee to continue to use the profilers, and that charging fees that were not disclosed at the time of sale would be unethical. I do hope that Rene understands that the KittyCatS community would not be supportive of this sort of fee. And reading through the above, he has stated that it is a free service, so I would expect it to remain that way.
