Re: NFC: nativefish.org web site critique [LONG!!]


All documents should get an overview if they are represanting the
NFC...in case they actually do not put us in a favorable light....

Also for future reference lets take these long crtiques of NFC stuff to a
private discussion it makes some people uncomfortable and gives he
impression that the efforts of volunteers are inadequit wich they are not
...:)

I appreciate the excitement and influx of ideas but lets temper it with a
bit of common sense. Some people are willing to volunteer but unwilling
to have their efforts publicaly critiqued. Lets be polite and take it
private
