In most cases, this information is the culmination of decades of diligent work. We offer no opinions. Only facts. We report. You decide. In the last issue of “Take the Heat” I described a self proclaimed Internet aqua-guru that offered statements and ‘opinions‘ that reflected his less than GED mentality. Apparently, he offended the majority of others in the chat room with a variety of other remarks. He was singled out in a friendly aol chat room ballot as “Jerk of The Year 1999”. When he received word of his… award, he was very upset. He told the chat room “…goodbye.” But, like a revenue agent or nasty rash, he will not go away. The latest performances by the same individual defy intelligence. Within a few days of his return, he stated in the aol Pets Fish chat room the following… 1)”Sea horses are the most difficult fish to keep.” When I read this I though of a 13 year old that is currently breeding sea horses. 2) He then admitted to over dosing his reef tank with Tropic Marin® calcium and his aquarium water was now milky. This is a classic example of misinformation that is offered by wannabe’s on the net. |
