@j27g2000cwj.googlegroups.com:

Our small, local news paper has a "Pet Talk" section. Usually it's
about dogs, cats and birds.
Last Wednesday there was a small piece about fish tanks and how "A
slimey tank isn't a bad thing", but of course..the common myths had to
fly as well.
Their info came from a "Dr. Donald Lewis, professor in the Department
of pathobiology at the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical
Sciences at Texas A&M University".Looks like your small local newspaper plagarized a July 2001 article

from Texas A&M's student newspaper;

...lending more liklihood to the possibility of journalistic
interpretation errors (as the original article was by a student
reporter). *There's a lesson here; if you're going to rip an article
off, at least know enough to decide if its a good one. *Don't cheat off
of someone who's dumber than you, kids! :-)

Dr. Donald Lewis is no longer on the faculty list at the Dept. of
Verterinary Pathobiology;

Given that a Google Scholar search indicates he hasn't published since
the mid-90's (and his reccomendation of an under-gravel filter ;-) he's
probably retired.

OOOOOO, Dave got the dirt !!
No wonder they aren't emailing me back about it, lol.
Well, forget emailing them again, I will be calling them about this.
Thanks Dave!
You're a peach. = )
