Re: On Line Listing

["Adam Rychlik" <adam at mbinsights_com>]

I have not bought anything from the BNL since 1995.
I believe that the BNL is worthless and outdated before it gets to us,
besides laughing at the funny pictures for a moment it just goes on my shelf
of fish stuff and collects dust. You can raise quite a few of Simp. or
Nothos. in a month!  By the way if you didnt notice, not many people use it
anymore.  When there are more killefish listed on aquabid than in the BNL
then its time to do something. We are the American Killiefish Assosiation
right? We should have the biggest listing of fish period.

The AKA could save quite a few bucks if they could phase out the snail mail
crap and implement some kind of LIVE online BNL where everything could be
updated by the AKA member at their convenience.
With the money we save we could even buy some computers for the AKA members
who don't have them yet and will obviously oppose this idea. ;)


Cheers!
