Erik Thought you kept it together real well. Thanks for the whole computer/software setup. Makes life much easier all the way around. Will leave mine at home next auction. :>) Ditto on the fellowship of the crew, and the good deals and times had by all Sam -----Original Message----- From: owner-gsas-board@thekrib.com [mailto:owner-gsas-board@thekrib.com]On Behalf Of Erik Olson Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 7:22 PM To: gsas-board@thekrib.com Subject: Re: Auctopsy You guys did great, by the way... we're talking half "new" people, and when you look at it, it appears to have been the highest-grossing plant auction in the last 5 years -- certainly the most number of bidders and items and splits. The items went for not-to-outrageous prices, so bidders got great deals. If I'd had more sleep, I'd be gushing even more. I apologize for not being as friendly last night as I could have been... and when I got home I took the next four hour fussy baby shift. - Erik On Thu, 12 Feb 2004 welenofsky@comcast.net wrote: > An auction rules hand-out would be great.

I have two tropheus now, so your two will make it so that they will have a school, and I can put them all together. Right now I have my two seperated. The Neolamprologus leleupi will be happy to have a mate; I think yours is a female. That would be really cool if either of them spawned. I just got Tanganikyan buffer and salts from Seachem. Drs. Foster and Smith sent me TWO buffers and books to replace the damaged ones, so I put the books in the library. I was wondering what happened to the old library check out book last night. I just made a new one up. > > Susan > > Good critique Erik. Always room for improvement.
