I don't really agree with this...I think most newbie questions are answered pretty well here and the nasty remarks are kept to a minimum. Did you have something you needed help with and did not get a reply? Sometimes messages can get overlooked...if you don't get any responses, it never hurts to re-post.

Actually what is YOUR deal? http://groups.google.com/groups?q=hs...e.net&rnum= 2 With your vast 30 years experience in aquarium maintenance, Masters of Science in Marine Biology and negative tone, I would think you would be quite able to defend yourself with facts, research and experience instead of weak cheap shots out of the blue, right after folks recently posted how nice and helpful this group was compared to other goggle groups. If someone had crucified you or anyone for something you'd have a legitimate complaint but you have not even posted nor referenced what the heck you're complaining about, just a generalized whining troll(GWT). Then we get this snide childish remark aimed at folks(these "oldies" in their ivory towers) that _are helping_ others while you make no positive contributions to any discussions. You sure don't seem like Graduate material to me. If your issue and concern is really with the newbies why are you not posting and helping these poor folks that are having trouble with algae and equipment? Ah but that's not your real agenda is it? You possess poor grammer for someone with a MS and this is a distinctive characteristic of a certain other personality...and low and bold we have someone making commentary to the same effect on another list at the same time before this one with the same out of the blue comment aimed at the "oldies". Coincidence? You referred to "duh questions" from newbies. How many newbies would want to post their __"duh question"__ knowing your "duh" attitude about their "duh" questions? There are no "duh" questions. Beginning questions and basics for new folks but nothing is "duh" about it, especially to them. That type of "ivory tower" attitude will never help. It's ironic how you are... what you complain about. Regards, Tom Barr |

"H C Furlow" screamed into the Void:

Huh? I'm new here and haven't noticed that at all. In fact, this looks like one of the friendlier and more helpful groups on Usenet. ***** --Anthony Ragan Snotling in Chief, Staadtholder van Marienburg (primary) & (secondary) The 21st Century and the Third Millennium begin on January 1st, 2001.
