Even tho I've found that trend annoying in the past I agree with you Brad. Still nice to have a large pool of stuff to pick thru when bargain-hunting.

i hate living in sask we have a couple lfs but nothing like it seems other provinces have...i have tank envy..lol

but denny you are one of the tank guys i follow ilike your ideas and innovation keep it up

ps main reason i dontreply alot my spellying and typing skills suck lol.. and my netbooks broken space bar doesnt help


thanks man much appreciated but it goes both ways you yourself offered me some good advice when me and the ex broke it off last year i dont forget stuff like that cheers

plus ones with low posts are generally new members so even if it is just for the buy/sell section it still brings in new members......still in my mind though slightly less than the ideal member i mean even a quick hello or random shot over 2 yrs is prob not un reasonable lolppp

Ya, but we just can't win. We want the new people to say hi, and we want the 12,000 post people to STFU

I guess it takes all kinds, some people are unsociable, some are shy, some are terrified to go "live" -lol

Now, if this is not a popular consensus amongst the members, I'd be willing to re-open the discussion with the rest of the team and see what we come up with.

I just figured everyone would like to see deals offered, even if it isn't from a "contributing" member...
IMO, having anyone posting classifieds here, or anywhere else, is great for us all.
I don't want to speak out of turn being one of the newbies here, but I do see an issue with post abuse here and there.
That's all my point entails ...

Back to the Random Thoughts >>>

OMG, drilling glass holes in perfectly good tanks for the first time is nerve wracking
I did 4 test holes on some scrap. Then 1 hole in a Chaeto tank, 1 in a new water tank and 1 of 2 in the sump.
I had to take a break before I rush the last sump hole
And although more could be said, I'll leave it up to the more brave members to do so
