RE: MCM - Digest V1 #275
I think AGA-PAC is a little wordy and long. Aquatic Gardeners and planted
Aquaria are about the same so if we can't use the "summit" yearly then I am
in favor of the first annual Aquatic Gardeners Assoc Conference. Simple and
to the point. I am also in favor of having the conference every year.
