No, I don't give up on folks if they complain legimately, they have a
point. Trolls expose themselves rather quickly, misunderstandings can be worked through. Trolls and killfies are fine for some folks, but I want to make sure before ___assuming__ which is ironically exactly what is being done to me:-) Irony has no limits. So that would not be the wise path away from hypocrasy, rather, it would lead right to it and never resolve anything. Resoution will be achieved with sustained effort to make things better, much like a nice planted tank. So ...........(Decision time) there will be much simpler web design coming up in the next few days. It's forum based since everyone is fairly well familar with that and the organizational layout(myself included). This was not my intent, but no public folks will be NOT able to post, just view the public DIY stuff and other chosen content, rather than ads.The newsletter, which is the main core, will be private and pdf for downloading without clogging your mailboxes. My alligence is to the subscribers and public at large rather than ads, sponsers etc. Folks that know me, know I'm quite independent and like my freedom there. I'm not like Armstrong Williams, which investigative reporting by USA Today unmasked as the frontman for a scheme in which $240,000 of taxpayers' money was quietly siphoned to him through the Department of Education and a private p.r. firm(which he owns) so that he would "regularly comment" upon (translation: shill for) the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind policy in various media venues during an election year. I make good $ already, this is not about making $ for me, it's about not losing money doing it. You'll never see me on that side of the shrill fence, life has better options where everyone wins, I'm not cynical but it's not hard to feel that way sometimes. I chose not to be cynical. I chose to change and make the bad ........good. If they resist, then they have chosen their path on their own, not due in part to myself. Joe nor Oz has acted as a troll. Rather, they may become my friend someday and end up at the AGA meeting in Monterey having a beer with me (I'll have the tea thanks). I like that possible prospect much more and it's happened on several ocassions with many folks at the AGA that I've meet over the years off the web and at local club meetings. I sleep better at night with that attitude and by helping others even if misunderstandings occur. It's a sign of character and fortitude, folks that question are good and I'd want at my side.

In article .com,
wrote: wrote: See www.BarrReport.com Register a user name and password, Well, seems like "register a user name" is lamespeak for "I want $12.95". I have nothing against a man trying to make a buck and I wish you many happy customers. But let's call a spade a spade here... you're not looking for a username, you're looking for money. At least have enough pride in what you do to be straightforward about it. I appreciate your tip, but I'll pass on the "registration". Perhaps you missed Tom's original announcement. What he's got is already on the net. Google will find you all of it. But he'd editied it all down into one coherant website. Some people think this is worth thirteen bucks and buy in. Some don't and can get the information freely by investing their time instead of Tom's. Some people think their time is worth more than a large can of TetraMin. With all dues respect I'm not sure anybody here cares which option you pick (or why). -- Need Mercedes parts ? - http://parts.mbz.org http://www.mbz.org | Mercedes Mailing lists: http://lists.mbz.org 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | Killies, killi.net, Crypts, aquaria.net 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Old wris****ches http://watches.list.mbz.org |

Yep, it's FREE:-)
And it's really FREE, F_R_E_E, FREE. I'm doing some changes to the site to make it more user friendly in the coming days to make finding the public freebies much easier and allowing the subscribers to navigate it easier. I originally wanted to stay away from a forum type format, but things have evolved and taken a life of their own. But both you and Oz have misunderstood my intent, so I am attempting to rectify so that others might not run into this same issue. It's netiher of your fault, I certainly do not hold either of you in anyway at fault. Just trying to help and if things are misunderstood, I'll work on that also. But preventing the misunderstanding will go a long way to help as well.That's my bad. I'm not much of a web site type of guy.........I've been on the web for years, but I do research on algae and aquatic weeds, not web designs. But with decisiveness and some teeth pulling the site should be much easier to navigate for myself and others whether they are the general public or subscribers. Now go try the CO2 reactor and see what you think since everyone _now_ knows you are cheap ![]() That's a complement in the plant hobby:-) If you are real cheap, you can use an old SeaChem trace 500ml bottle in place of the viewtainer, and use a potato chip foil inner wrapper for a lighting reflector. Now that's cheap. Regards, Tom Barr |

Richard, the newsletter articles are not the same as my post, they are
well supported with ref's. These are much more review publications. There is a Public archives section posted on the site and this will be more user friendly to non subscribers. The monthly articles will never be part of the public domain, they will become, at some point, a book. I want to help folks everywhere including the non subscribers should they chose not too. But I chose to give some away while not other things, like the DIY external DIY CO2 reactor. I design and make things, so I can give the older versions info away. The cutting edge and the new, the organized, the supported, the new areas of research are not public. Some enjoy that, some don't think it's worth it, some like to see lots of banners and ads, pop ups, and the like. I have NO SPONSERS on my site. I will not have any either. I've had some ask. I said no. Take a look here, you'll see a sponser's links, ads, spam city. I do not like it and don't like having to deal with sponsers(customers), my only customers are those truly interested in aquatic plants and marine plants, the subscribers. Over the course of an entire year, the value is very high. Even if you don't subscribe, you still get utility out of it from the freebies. Have you ever had a cup full of thawed brine and thought it was your tea and then taken a big swig? I ate some Tetra min once in a similar case.......not a large can though:-) Honestly, the Tetra min tasted better than the brine. Not sure the fish would agree. Regards, Tom Barr |

This is not the air, it's O2 degassing reactor (which has as low as possible
solulbility than carbon dioxide.) That is why I use a venture interior design of the control level carbon dioxide and external design his own, I recommend that people try, they cost 3 Internal and it is the most easy to use.
