I agree, how about a really really rough and
un-thought-out idea........

What if we published an Engrish version of Amano's
Aquajournal. I know , I know, lots of complications
and maybe not even a lot of demand. Just an idea that
I had to get out before it dies of loneliness...;-)

I like the calendar idea to but I am afraid we would
need to do one for 2008 or mid 2007 through 2008. Just
a quick potential problem. Does our Aquascaping
contest photo release cover us from selling these
images or just posting them? I thought it was the
latter which means we have issues there too.
