And just what, pray tell, are we  old inhospitable farts supposed to feel 
about your approach? The tone of  your message gives us a wee clue as to 
why you may not have been greeted  with open arms. The problem is, do you 
get  it?

You are correct Wright I could have worded that better, I have had many  good 
and useful
conversations and dialogue with a number of people on this list as well as  
those in the AKA as a whole. 
 
What I state as a clickish and inhospitable attitude seems to be a  
convention attitude that I believe would be in the betterment of the  organization to 
address. It is nice to see in part it is being addressed.
 
The tone of my message is merely to show you the level of frustration some  
of us feel.
I hear this same level of frustration in others often when the  AKA comes up 
in a conversation
with new Killie hobbyists. 
 
Enough of this:
I'd rather talk fish.
 
 I know Damn well the best to learn from are Grumpy old farts, I  respect you 
all
quirks and all, don't mistake my blunt style of writing with any form of  
disrespect.
that is not the intended consequence of my post.
