I do not believe that comment was directed at you per se. I believe I know the person Scott was refeering too, and I have to say I agree with him. The person he was referring to does seem to want to rush into this head first with little or no preperation, or even thought as to the consequences of his/her actions to the fish. If you take offense to that, I am sorry, but as I stated earlier in this thread, if someone asks for a opinion then that is surely what they get on a message board site. It is up to the person asking the question whether they listen to those opinions or not. If someone gets upset over a opinion then that is not the fault of the person giving said opinion. I also do not believe that anyone is claiming, or even trying to establish superiority over anyone else on this site, but it does seem more expedient to reply in the simplest terms possible for ease, and in the chance that the person posting the question is a complete newbie to fish keeping. For those who do have the experience it should be obvious that posting like such, even if it does seem to discourage, is only one persons attempt to be helpful and cause as little wasted time and effort as possible. Also as was stated by another poster earlier in this same thread, we cannot know with out you stating explecidly what experience if any you have, so there fore we assume by a common factor that you possibly have none or very little. As I said none of this is said to critize you, or anyone else, but perhaps you should cut each of us the same slack you want, and treat us the same as you wish to be treated and understand we are here to try to help those who ask a question the best way we can.
end of rant.
