That's what I wanted to know. So, you can't retort? Yeah, it bothers me a *little*. EI is not the end all be all.
I won't participate in these forums as you have... for that, thank you so much. However, let me impress upon you, this:
People will listen to you. Folks who have the energy to guide the uninformed will guide the hobby in this country. It's not going well. The pics of average folks' tanks on forums from other countries FAR surpass ours, and, IMO, the main reason is not technology, or substrates, or any of that garbage. It's that fact that they aren't blinded by hype, or blowhard know-it-alls.
The last AGA contest was heart breaking to me. We're SO far behind... Time to catch up, or submit. |
