Re: [Killietalk] Judging/Judges(Morphed from Elephant/convention/new rules)

["Nick Ternes" <woodland_gardens at gmail.com>]

While I'm not disinterested in becoming a judge, it just wouldn't make
sense at this point in time.  I wouldn't feel comfortable judging any
classes other than SAA, Nothos, or Fundulopanchax.  I have fish
entered in these classes at most shows I go to.  So what would I
judge?  Rivs or Aphyos?  That would be amusing, and I'd probably get
lynched for picking the wrong winner. ;)  I think this is probably a
similar reason why many others don't judge.

Gary- can you email me the info for the Michiana show?  I might
finally make it this year.
