I also have some questions about the AGA and this mystical document called "The Aquatic Gardener". I joined the AGA many moons ago and I have never received this document or any other that might make me believe this organization even existed. I did contact a man (I think Neil Frank, maybe Dave Gomberg?) who told me that yes, my membership had cleared and that I would get 12 months of TAG, whenever it came out, whether my membership had run out or not. I think that Neil (the publisher of TAG) has had some hard times and that the next issue of TAG is due to be released and is huge, consisting of a few months combined in one journal. Someone had posted on the APD that this huge TAG was to be sent out at any time. I still haven't received it. The web site does not have any indication that is journal is ready, so I am still biding my time and being patient. I must admit to being a little skeptical about the benefits of paying fifteen dollars to be in this organization. I do not know the scope of aquatic gardening, so maybe things are going on over my head, but I haven't seen or heard mention of this group anywhere except the APD. I have already paid my money, so I am just going to wait and see how good this mystical TAG is before I decide whether I will continue being a member when my membership expires. I guess this is off-topic, but I am really curious about the AGA and its status.
