It is the job of moderators/administrators to be fair ie directing newbies to a long list of LFS when they ask for advice re where to go to get good fish.
It is however not a practical answer. It is like when you ask someone what they would like to eat when at a hawker centre and they say 'anything will do' - might as well not have asked in the first instance! Therefore I certainly feel that there is value in helping the newbie by narrowing the choices so that they can at least be more focused. After all, not all the LFSs listed will have good fish at the same time and when a fellow forumer notices some good fish at certain LFSs at THIS point in time, it really makes sense for him to let others know about it. The world of the tropical fish hobbyist is really a 'selfish' one most of the time - from breeders to brokers to the hobbyist - everyone seems to have something to hide. Usually those who 'talk' a lot are those who really don't know very much... But this is only my opinion ( formed after a few decades feeling frustrated !) And likely to stir a hornets nest! |

QUOTE(leogon @ Fri, 03 Sep 2004 08:53 am) It is the job of moderators/administrators to be fair ie directing newbies to a long list of LFS when they ask for advice re where to go to get good fish. Guys, xxx got new ranchu, yyy got new pearl ... quick quick go see. How does a moderators/administrators know where got good fish ? The lfs called them up telling them to post something ? No way ! IS IT fair to say that if HB do not know where to direct newbies is not doing his job ? Quite hurting isn't it. QUOTE It is like when you ask someone what they would like to eat when at a hawker centre and they say 'anything will do' - might as well not have asked in the first instance! They have no preferences or not in a hurry to decide. As such, buy anything ! Unless u rephrase the question and ask again, would you like fishball noodle or chicken rice ? What would be the outcome ? QUOTE Therefore I certainly feel that there is value in helping the newbie by narrowing the choices so that they can at least be more focused. After all, not all the LFSs listed will have good fish at the same time and when a fellow forumer notices some good fish at certain LFSs at THIS point in time, it really makes sense for him to let others know about it. HB very free, everyday call up all the lfs to ask them got fish or not. A lot of time it depends on the users here to pass on information. However, what would have happen between seeing the fishes at lfs to the "SEND" key after typing the message ? Furthermore, with vast different level of appreciation among the people here, it will be even tougher to understand what the poster's saw. In fact, on many occasions, someone mentioned good fish at xxx .... sure to have someone else don't take lunch also rush all the way to see and end up seeing junks. QUOTE The world of the tropical fish hobbyist is really a 'selfish' one most of the time - from breeders to brokers to the hobbyist - everyone seems to have something to hide. hahahahaha ... of COURSE !
