it's such a dissapointment to see an LFS lowering their standards... most of us refuse to buy at petcetera and some of us have issues with big al's, why aren't we boycotting our preferred shops for their crimes. the great lie of capitalism is that consumers have a collective voice, but i think in this case it might almost be true. *some* LFS owners respect their client (i hope), i know LFS X responded reasonably favourably when a certain individual wrote them about their stocking powder blue tangs, if we really have a problem with it, we do have the power to do something about it.
perhaps the easiest thing we can do is ensure other reefers educate themselves before they buy, and tell our girlfriends and boyfriends not to buy us livestock  
sorry if that sounded really disjointed, it's past my bedtime and i'm struggling with a paper.
