## Not only do they make us look normal, they make us look COOL! I mean, compared to the self-professed fish geeks (“I was addicted to FISH CHAT”???!!!) we look like friggen rock stars.

I know some people are going to ignore me, but…

Please don’t go over to the fish board just to antagonize them. No matter what you think about fish enthusiasts, it’s really uncool to spam or troll a board that is frequented by decent, inoffensive folks talking about a common interest.

I’ve read a lot of posts over there and they have a huge number of people that are very knowledgable about their hobby. My two queries were answered promptly and politely.

So please don’t pull that LBMB crap on them.

Fish. Chat. A fish board.

Wow. I’m totally whelmed. There’s something for everyone.

Here’s a name: how 'bout “Cod Peace”? Did someone mention that already?

Yes, I was kidding about trolling the board. I was just pointing out that some people are actually such incredible losers- such wastes of human flesh, that they would troll on a fish board.

God, I’m sure glad we don’t have anyone that stupid and rude here.

## Zette PS- my questions were answered in a quick, friendly way, too. If anyone else out there is into keeping an aquarium, it’s a great resourse for info. It’s not like you just fill up the tank and drop in the fish. If you don’t believe me, try it!

I was only kidding about the fish heads thing. I hate trolls here, even though its fun to flame them, but, each to there own, if they enjoy fish, leave them to it.
