1. Laissez-faire
2. The knowledge which is freely given on these boards is more valuable than the corals we try to charge each other for
3. I would be inclined to start a coral bank, ie. established hobbyists can have a frag of whatever coral for zero, in return if my tank crashes you give me a frag back to restock. Kind of like insurance
4. It is a collegial hobby until money gets involved
Incidentally I'm sitting near a tank with 6 BTA's, bought one BTA from Samw something like 8 or 10 years ago, if I sold 5 of them for the original purchase price I guess I earned 25 bucks per year. Woohoo!
Just my view.
