Ok, ok, someone tell the dumb jarhead to stop trying to share every single website he comes across... :-) I just found this website the other day: http://www.aquariumdirect.com I think it has some potential. It's plant search engine isn't better than Disky's, but I do like it, and it is nice to see pictures other than Tropica's. Anyway, as you can see, I asked them if they'd support the contest by putting a link on their page. It looks like they would love to, in exchange for ???? Have we decided on whether we're going to accept "sponsors"? Obviously it's nothing for us to throw them onto our links page, but what if they say they want a banner swap? Anyone know if they've already contacted the AGA through other channels? I replied to Kevin already. I just told him that I had to talk to you guys about the best way for us to "benefit each other". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Engle Jacksonville, NC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin" <kevinc@aquariumdirect.com> To: "DaTrueDave" <DaTrueDave@earthlink.net> Cc: "Egbert Sow" <awhim@singnet.com.sg> Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2000 2:31 AM Subject: Fwd: Re: Benefits & Changing of passwords > Hi Dave, > > Thanks for your encouragement and support. > > Alkemedia Pte Ltd owns and runs AquariumDirect.com.
