if we can't discuss specifics, how are we able to choose wisely?
its not not allowed per say, but there are still rules to this forum. links aren't allowed at all, and discussing should be kept more vague as so as to not break the rule "
Post or request personal information, website links, or sources of ANY kind." saying stuff like N from C or SN from large river site is fine, but anything detailed, images etc, is usually a no-go. Discussions, of course, are still welcome, just say something like "the UK SN seller" or "name starts with" or "rhymes with" when asking, and it should still allow you to research and choose wisely, but also protect the site and the sources in question while doing so.
As for SN, i totally agree, thats whats making me consider SN as a way to go, but everyone is different so it wont be ideal for everyone. theres no ideal method, every one has its trade-offs, and its good to really think about which is best overall for you and your situation and mindset. and always ask yourself if its really what you want, no one here will be mad if you back out of it after you buy
