wow this sounds like it will be a good time.

I am looking forward to putting some faces to your names.

I don't have anything to frag right now but am more then willing to shovel some cash your way if you have some little guys for me.

Well I am keeping the day open.

See you then

Not sure if I'd trust a store like that. No offense but between the staff and the marketing strategy...

Was recently speaking with a fellow who, only a short time ago, used to be a fish importer. He was telling me that the education process of net catching fish is an on-going process and that cyanide is still being used to catch fish, even by so-called reputable wholesalers.

It's much easier to cyanide catch fish and stun them than it is to set up a large net system and have the fishermen poke the section of fish-bearing reef with sticks and other prods then scoop up fish with all their wits about them in the net. As a result, according to my source, even in the best lfs cyanide caught fish may still comprise part of their stock, unfortunately.

Jesse, no problem, I'd like to stop by Big Al's, AI, etc. as well.

The debate over LFSs can wait until the meeting. Then we can settle our differences with a good ol' fashioned snowball fight. One thing I will say though is that I buy from a store based on more than just whether they sell cyanide-caught fish (knowleadgability/attitude of staff, upkeep of tanks, selection)...
