Re: [AGA Member] AB contest announcements

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

C'mon guys, loosen your headbands and relax a little. It's
a big hobby and one way or another, we're all in it
together.


The remark about life and AGA was a wisecrack. I didn't
find it offensive or especially pointed. Sometimes Goerge
Booth makes them -- the prepoderance of them in recent
months at my expense -- and I've enjoyed them all. I didn't
see Robert's remark as a targeted personal snipe -- we
know, at least Robert and I know, that he doesn't know me
well enough to get personal nor I about him. I saw his
remark as lob done in good humor.


Now, let's get back to talking about aquaria, and plants,
and making wiscracks.
