Re: [OT] recruiting via killitalk

["killiman" <killiman at iquest_net>]

Professor Meserve one of the early members of BAS would love to see the
things we have in the hobby today, like heaters, Plastic filters, All glass
tanks and computers.
I learned about killifish from BAS.

Gotta go pick eggs so there will be plenty when you come visit.
as the water changes automatically.

> All those people are so protective of me :) I think we have really great
Board Members and AKA memeber who stood my side. Paul is so great. He made
really good points that I could not explain well enough. English is such a
difficult language. There are tons of times people misunderstand me or I
have hard time explaining thing well enough.

> Good thing that this individual who sent me an email did not post it on
the mailing list. I had a great conversation via email with this individual
and he is not being a mad man or anything. So don't worry. Everyone has
different views, and I guess he thought that it is not appropriate to share
the local info to others who might not be in the area. But it is what he
thought, and I am sure he has different views now by reading the posts here.

> Especially BAS Board Members such as Paul and Turtle know about me that I
am not really a person of recruiting. I do not think that the word,
"recruiting" should not be around in this hobby. In BAS, I think people like
to share the experiences or opportunities than trying to get more members. I
did not know about Killietalk until I met people at BAS, I did not know
about BAS until I met Paul through another mailing list. I do not think I
would have been taking care of my tanks as I do now if I did not get to know
those wonderful organizations and people.

> Keeping the tanks is big part of my life now, and it really helps me go
through the tough difficult days in foreign country or from tough job..
etc.. But I have been very happy to meet wonderful people who have same
wonderful hobbies and have passions about it.

> Anyway I should not be talking too much here. But my point is "Anyone
other than Turtle and Catherine, want to congraduate me for my first
killifish babies??????????????" I got so many emails about recruiting thing,
but not about my first baby killiefish!!!! :) I have been so excited about
it!!

> That is it for now.

> Oh one more thing, all who are keeping up with the wonderful mailing list,
I surely appreciate all your efforts to help other hobbyists! :)
