Al didn't bother to tell anyone about the dead fish until he was goaded into
answering despite repeated emails.

* quite a load of chook fertilizer! Anyone that has paid for eggs or fish
(from me) that reported them dead either has gotten another mop, more fish or
their money back.

And it really doesn't matter if it's Al or some other welsher who isn't paying
on fish that they owe. I will certainly give them trouble because I don't want
someone else to have to go through the same problems. When someone gets ripped
off in the fish hobby they make sure that others know about it, especially
their friends so that others don't get ripped too. It's a time honored
tradition of the AKA to do so. As stated before this really isn't the way Al
normally behaves but he had plenty of opportunity to say otherwise before it
was made public on the lists. That was his choice.
