Did he you say? Not blooming likely, the replacement was not a nickel less expensive.

The difference is self evident is it not?

um.. no, why do you feel he should have to apoligize? did he do something to you? fish die.. it happens and it is for the most part beyone our controle... also why should he give you a discount because a fish he sold you died in your tank? not trying to be insulting or anything Bob but unless he pourposuly sold you fish that he knew would die how could you expect somthing like that?

If it was me I would have said something though.. probably "thats to bad... how many more do you need "

but yes to add my part to this topic I have been staying out of, Bob you do get a bum rap on here but you can't say you didn't bring most of it on your self. and this is the problem with human nature once something has gone on long enuf it sticks and is hard to change what you have been labled (I know spelling ) with.. weather your signatures or your spelling corections were jokes it did anoy alot of people, I myself don;t like to be reminded every other post that I have dislexia, I have had it all my life and I know I have it. Others just don't like reading through all the garbage to get to the real post.. I personaly get a chuckel some times out of all the tangents a thread can take.. like a life of its own.

like this thread for instance.. and in the famous words previoulsy said.. I digress (I probably spelt that wrong to eh :? )
