*Somebody* said:

"I am going to attempt to start a new elist trend here on rec.ponds and
suggest you abandon the SILLY idea of a bio-mechanical filter, and build
a
VF. VF'ers rule. The yahoo's on this group with bio-mechanical filters are
just sadist that like doing too much work."

I, however, simply cannot resist the opportunity to point out that the
people "that like doing too much work" are masochists! The sadists are
those of us who sit around [vicariously or otherwise] and watch.

Sincerely, Mrs. Language Person (hey, gimme a little credit, I was right
about "Yahoo" showing up in Gulliver's Travels! Not that anyone here
sked -- I'm just one of those wordy-nerdy types who only lives to
Google!)

It was me that made that obligatory statement...And you are correct, but
leave it to an elitist bio-mechanical filter person to point it out. I bet
you do water changes too. Ooh...I feel so naughty.
