Some highlights include;
Hi! Gordon Hides here.....Yes, the old used car dealer (one truth among the
numerous rumours circulating) is on line. I have just waded through the
Rainbowfish Mailing List on the Internet. I have never in my life read so much
B.S. as the stuff poured out by Peter Unmack.
Gee! Do you think Unmack is going to have a reply? Better get ready
Gordon (although it seems you can handle yourself). I think the rest of us
shall sit back and enjoy the show!!;-)
> club members, selling fish for a few cents each.
Yeah, it's good isn't it. As a keeper it gives you the opportunity to keep
fish that you may otherwise pass over due to price. As a breeder the 'few
cents' you get is around what a tight arsed retailer will give you. I
personally would rather sell or give away fish to fellow keepers than to
retailers.
Thanks for your vote of support we know you guys are right behind us. ;)
Oops better be careful with Roy in that position <G>.
Dianne, I am the one called rooster. In the past I also raised EMU's, and
chickens and peacocks. I still have the latter two. Also I think being
cocky contributes to the name as well. Peter Will probably have a different
description than the one I gave but......
Peter is the one true butthead on the list. Andrew (frex.. *uc*ing retarded
example extremist... had to put the x not the e in his nic or his wife
would kill him! :-)) Troy is the wizard (at what, well he did just get
married) Alan... humm idunno...big wazoo maybe :-) Bruce is sometimes the
Doc.. I think he is a physiciatrist or something like that :-) And lets see
who else.....
I feel that it is time to move onto more important things, like Genus
Chlamydogobius! ;) Which everyone knows, are *far* more interesting than those
boring Rainbowfish! ;) ;)
For some reason the adjective "lubricant" and the mention of Adrian in the
same sentence just doesn't work Bruce..... :-P
Aromatic warmth, brings to mind a pile of dung on the snow, freshly laid.
It's warm, and it's aromatic.... :>(
Its nice to see an effort made but to be honest with you the display sucked.
The fish looked very poorly and the tanks didnt really represent appropriate
bio-types. Other than that it wasnt bad for a bunch of old farts, good to
see they could stop discussing politics for five minutes and actually do
something fish related.

New venue? huh, come agian... It's an old stomping ground for me. And yes
Peter I can remember some early conquests can you? Did you? is a better
question.<g>
>Hey Unmack, they tell me they have a petting pond as well :-)
<end>
> The whole proceedure sort of proceeded at snail pace ;-)
How about afterwards Did they leave a slime trail behind?
1. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
2. Patience/patients is/are a virtue.
3. The definition of virtue is "lack of opportunity".
The lady of the house was amused and amazed at how much catsup was put away.
She said, oh well, it's another fish person and dismissed it at that.
You fellas (and Julie) know that some of this is just too darn funny!
Especially Andrews twisted humor and Bruces "I am just going to give you what
for if you need it or not" and Adrians well Adrian is totally to hard to
figgure out sometimes.
Peter U is the best though, He is like the little brother that bothers you
constantly! Sometimes you wish you could just wack him one but you fear
Father Andrew's wrath when he gets home
I would like to offer my condolences to the Victorian regional group of
ANGFA. CYRUS is moving over to Victoria from WA. We in WA are extremely
happy that he has decided to leave us! Every month he would bombard us with
his millions of ideas for the club, most of them being hiariously ridulous.
Prior to the committee meetings he would say that he has so many ideas that
his head was going to explode!!
It seems to me that a major point is being missed here among all of this
fingerpointing and semi-namecalling (Yes, I feel that you all are getting
very close to the "flame" lines here.).
I guess by now that most list members will known my feelings on this subject.
I apologize to anyone I've offended but this subject is close to my heart
and I have been down this road before.
ps. that Hunter is the worst speller I've ever seen.
Unless Hunter is just stirring the pot (what are the chances?) i have to say
that Peter is WRONG! Yes I said wrong. All of you can probably hear Peter
pounding on his keyboard as he hammers out his reply.;-)
Cautious is the only way to be. We Yanks are notoriously bad in that dept.
Reform the great Royster humm... My wife tried and failed and she is a hell of
a lot meaner than any of you thats for sure.
So there you have them, the Dumb Blondes of Sahul. While I love to watch the
mock territorial antics of the Desert Goby, or the sheer magnificence of the
Saratoga, I'm sure you will agree that it is good to take time out to watch a
Dumb Blonde every now and then!
{end of quotes}
Gods bless us, one and all, and like Peter says in the preface on the
archive page, "sometimes we even talk about fish". :)
Thanks once again to Peter for all his work.
Regards, Andrew Boyd
List Co-Founder
