Dear Mods, Owners, etc.,
As above. We had new members saying they joined because they had been members of other sites but this one was better because of the help and respect they received.
There are different threads which have content that some people view as pointless but they don't need to read them if they don't want to. When it comes down to it we're all here because we love the hobby.
So all I'm saying is please leave it as it is. A place where all levels of expertise is respected and welcomed, not a place where every post is scrutinised, and where some of us fishkeepers with enough to be worrying about in everyday life can maybe have a laugh or two.
With respect,
An aquarist with only 1 year experience and every bit of knowledge I have, I gratefully recieved from this site,
Fintastic.
well said sire!
I to learned much from this forum. in terms of fish and their keeping. the physics and other principles i already had. i just needed to learn how they affected the hobby.
indeed i can remember my first posts, and their subject. without doing a search. ( I was looking to repair a split seam on my tank. and had been told, elsewhere, it could not be done).
I stayed because of another comment you made:

I have a severalty disabled, both mentally and physically, daughter. bringing her up, is both immensity frustrating and unbelievably rewarding.
TFF was somewhere, totally unconnected, where i could loose myself.
only comment i would make is on "pointless threads". they take up valuable and expensive storage and band width.
if you want to waffle rubbish, find a rubbish/pointless forum to air it, on.(someone here suggested the Flat Earth Society)
