>>I think you can hardly blame the AB forums for draining away membership participation from APD and AGA member lists. There are several other forums (APC, plantedtank, plantgeek, AQ) that also "compete" with them. I like APC because it is the most user friendly and organized. Is it a sin that I post there rather on APD/AB? No.<< Yeah if you are going to be ticked at me, you might as well be ticked off at Art Giacosa who started his own forum and recruited Paul Krombholz...sorry I am sure I spelled that wrong... Bob Olsen and Steve P who wrote the article for TAG on native collecting. When I saw his forum I decided to try to improve mine to attract more people, not to be cruel or putting his forum down, but because I am competitive. Sue me...no don't do that.
