Please let me exlain folks with NO opinion given here! I am not giving my opinion......I am not mad at anyone.......I just want to explain about the advertising. I have been on the apisto list since ohhhhhh 96....maybe 95 and there was a "WAR" that trook place concerning so-and-so had this apisto for this and so-and so had this apisto for that and so-and so rooked me out of $xxxxx and so-and so is better and cheaper that so and so and........well folks I think you can now imagine the e-mails that could and were being sent! Way back then the list moderator stopped the list for 1-2 weeks (sound familiar) and came back with some rules........among the rules was no advertising on the list. It was made completly clear that the advertising in question did not mean "...I need a male borelli".......or "...... had a spawn of XXX and anyone who wants them write me off list."...........it was made clear that if you were in the "business" not full time, just in the "business" of selling fish then it needs to be off list totally! Not all lists are that way.........the only other list personally belong to is the Killie list and it is exactally the same as the apisto list ith this regards so there are other lists that feel the same as our apisto moderator..............please folks......I have not given you my opinion.....just what the list agreed to all those years ago. Quite frankly I don't care which way it is.......but if the list wants to do so they ought to consider what can and has happened in the past and then petition the list moderator! Mike Wise.....a little guidance on this point......please point out if I am incorrect. No anger here folks and no one in my mind.....and I REALLY don't care which way we go!!!!! You folks have a great day............good to be back with the list up!
