is it just me??

I am not pointing a finger at anyone in particular.
Nor, like I said orginally, was I trying to make it into a snide or accusatory comment.
It was more a question as to why people don't want to seemingly support their LFS.
For the comment about stockpiling fish in my basement I am certainly not doing it to make a quick buck (I have spent 10,000s of dollars and haven't sold a thing yet.)
anyone that knows me knows that what I am doing has been anything but quick.
nor have I posted having a single thing for sale on canreef in the process (and it has been a long freaking process.)
I did contact Btymens because as it turns out, I do have one of the fish he was looking for and was in fact holding it for him as per his request. clearly, I didn't mean it as an insult.
Being that I am getting into the business, this was a serious question because it concerns me(and it should every LFS) as to why a lot of members aren't seemingly wanting to support their LFS.
so thank you for the comments as to why it is being done.
that is what I am looking for, as should every LFS be looking for because it concerns them all.
thanks
