Tim,
You know, I don't see it that clearly. They give, but not in that way. I
know it sounds odd. If you make direct contact with many hobbyists who
specialize, you learn enormous amounts of valuable info. But that info
doesn't always flow out into lists like this. E-mail fishkeeping is a
time consuming hobby in itself. If I didn't use it as a break from
working at the computer, I wouldn't be as active, not that I have a lot
specialized to say.
And there is also the possibility there is no specialist on the list
over here, as Lee said.
I just wanted to try to dispel the feeling there was a division, or a
dislike of the BKA. I think there's a disorganization that may LOOK like
bad feeling, but is just what it is. Personally, I'd love to see the
fish you're talking about, which is what I think when I read your
postings, but I have never seen them except in photos.

Okay, I resent you guys for close to 40 years of endless Beatles tunes,
but I guess it's time to forgive.
