Just for the record, the person I suggested way back when was Lee Finley. Though he is best known for his expertise with catfish, Lee is an aquarist with a tremendous amount of experience in many areas. He judged the very competitive Boston A.S. Home Show for many years (I think about 12) before he "retired". For most of those years, I went along on the homeshow trip to act as driver and videographer. I fully trust his ability to judge the aesthetics of an aquascape, planted or otherwise. I was _NOT_ suggesting a boxer to judge gymnastics in this case, and I doubt that I ever suggested just any old fish keeper as a judge. I suggested a specific person whose abilities are well known to me.
