Re: AKA and BNL

Forgive me before I even start. I am sure to anger someone. It is not intentional, implied, inferred. I will try the politically correct method so as to not get another 'big one' going. But here is my question. The JAKA tends toward scientific scholarly work (good and needed stuff). The BNL is AKA news, show news, what is going on, the Fish & Egg listing. (Also good and needed stuff). Is there a place for articles that reflect what the new members, average members, working with their fish members can use on a regular basis? As an example, the JAKA Sept - Dec 1995. Even the editorial page says this is a special issue. I bought it at the convention last year. What a great issue. Plain down to earth articles about growing vinegar eels, live foods, Fundulopanchax in general, Blue Gularis, several over killies,culturing infusoria, how to organize your bags of peat,microworms. I am constantly re-reading this issue to double check information. But if you weren't an AKA member at that time, pure luck is the only way you would know this issue was different. So sure, you say, been there done that. But remember, any new members in the last 5 years have not been there done that. This would be valuable info for them. I am sure scattered through the years there are other issues like this, I just don't know which ones they are. If we hope to get and hold on to new or less experienced members, we have to keep a steady, if redundant, supply of information geared towards them.
