Re: [Killietalk] ..............my $.02 on N&RS

[Maero77 at aol_com]

Hi all, I had to add a thought in regard to the N&RSC. A lot of  people say 
they are in the organization for the fish.  The friendships come  along with 
the activity of studying and breeding the fish.  There are some  reliable 
commercial suppliers, but we always do not know where some of these  fish are coming 
from.  I am sure we can all find strings on killietalk in  regard to 
localities, arguing about which order the letters are in!  The  N&RSC assures the 
quality that we demand.  Fish from that source are  not commercial imports with a 
year associated with it.  N&RSC fish were  from sources, sometimes the 
original collector.  
 
My point is this:  If people can get fish on aquabid and other  internet 
sources, and we wonder about our membership declining, why would we  want to let 
go of our only possible exclusivity for the best killies.  It  should be the 
case that, yea, you can get killies anywhere, but the AKA is the  source for the 
highest quality through the N&RSC and it's members.   Ofcouse, you have to be 
a member!
