Ah Robert... that is exactly what I have been thinking... though I don't
believe it is just James who wants to make *evrybody* happy (a near
impossible task in my opinion). And I hope that we are getting away from
debating the insignificant (in my mind anyway) stuff in the second paragraph. 

Robert sees this as simple too. I can't see why we keep complicating it so
much. It's a planted aquascape contest, plain and simple. :) By keeping it
simple one remains focused. Showcase whatever, but judge planted tanks as
we wanted to do originally.
