Steve: it's the Best Little Coral House in the West. (our nickname for it)


Troy: that's cool of course - I was actually being serious (my best attempt). What is "Kapeche?"

BTW, your explanation is what I was looking for.

[Troy F]

Alan, kapeche is understand in Italian I believe. I was taking you seriously, I just wanted to clear up any possible confusion and I'm glad it worked .

Nope, your fault all the way for listening to them in the first place.

See above and add an IQ test to upcoming personal agenda .

On a serious note
I would only hope that certain retailers would see these online opinions that people are forming about them and do something to change them.. Eg. If some one posted an opinion in the vendor rating forum about SWC or J&L or Seacare I am sure the appropriate retailer would comment, fix, figure out the problem.

It's common sense to take comments people say with a grain of salt unless there's obvious proof to back up that opinion.
I don't really know where my rambling is going here (Tony I am rambling like you ) other than to say our hobby if based around alot of OPINIONS and less FACTS or Scientific proof.
In my OPINION Productive opinions are nessecary in this hobby, Bashing is not.

:? Hmmm never thought of that :? I guess I backed us all into a corner with that statement

Well all productive opinoins except BOB's are nessecary :P

[Delphinus]

Oh dear, poor Bob. You'd think he was a real rabble-rouser or something? I wonder if one day I get to meet this fabled person?

Jonathan I couldn't agree with you more about that other stuff though. If a person doesn't like what is said about them ... well nobody has to like this sort of thing, but they can also try to prove the statements wrong, or make the statements become wrong.

After all if we all agreed on everything .... then we wouldn't have much to talk about, would we?

You know, I once overheard someone in our group say something about me when he did not know I was in the room. I don't think I will spend the rest of my days worrying about that. I will, however, leave you with this quote I stole from Alan's email. I think it highly appropriate in this case.

Well all productive opinoins except BOB's are nessecary :P

So now we need a special moderator to decide if an opinion is productive or not. :P

Sorry Bob- but I think you got yourself into this. For the longest time I held out hope for you. But you come back with rude and insulting comments. Some people are honestly asking questions because they are new or just want to know. We're not stupid- otherwise we wouldn't even ask. But your nitpicking, judging comments are insulting. And no, I don't have to be a scholar in English to ask a question about how to make myself a better reefer.
