I've been neglected. sniff... > Gabriella, A free pair of apistos if you pass through Montreal... the reps idea is to answer questions from new members - it's like a regional resource person. I volunteered for eastern Canada, and Quebec, and decided to launch the offer to try to jump start things. I'm sure the other volunteers will want to lynch me - it's a personal initiative. In the US, there are easy ways to distribute, and members will do things differently, but in Canada, it's well-nigh impossible to ship efficiently and cheaply. I don't know, if I have extras, I can't ship them, so I'd rather give them away than keep them til they crash. If I breed an expensive rarity, it stays out of that loop, but I have some nice grey uglies I happen to think highly of. -Gary ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
