Comment On The New Newsletter

[geo7x]

Actually, I forgot about the interview That's not a 'mash' though- what I meant was, for isntance, we have a pinned Juwel filter removal topic, and the article doesn't say anything new, the betta article said nothing other than what you could find by having a flick through the pinned topics.

youre probably right, most things fishkeepers need to know are in TFFs pinned topics or in other threads, the chances are it will be there somewhere, the difference is presenting the information in a new and exciting way, especially to appeal to new hobbyists. Most of the people on this forum dont look at past threads or pinned topics before they ask questions, because if they did, then quite frankly the forum would be a pretty quiet place when it comes to questions. By way of the newsletter, its something that people can get quick and easy to read information, with an interesting appearence and graphics, because people dont sit there reading through pages and pages of pinned topics, its a convenience thing. Yes it has some things that may have been done before in pins, but what hasn't? And new and experienced people alike will actually read this.

Personally I am more concerned with the myth about Bonsai being stunted used to objectify not stunting fish than with there not being 50 odd warnings included for something which seems pretty self explanatory to me. As a Bonsai enthusiast I can personally vouch that Bonsai are in no way stunted when they are properly cared for by people who know what they are doing (kind of the same as with fish). The methods used in Bonsai are aimed at slowing growth, not retarding it completely and a properly kept Bonsai is every bit as healthy as a normal sized tree and even more so in some cases.

Hi geo7x

The newsletter was informative and entertaining as well as visually attractive. It was more like reading a magazine than a scientific journal, which is how it should be, if it is to be read by the general public.

No matter what you do, there will always be someone who will have something negative to say about it. Please don't let this make you feel bad or discouraged about your effort. Just "consider the source."

Thanks inchy, those are really nice things to say

I completely agree with this statement, as I said before, it's very easy to sit there and pick holes in the newsletter, but the point is, fish-keeping has loads of controversial issues. And it's difference in opinion thats going to cause 'concerns' or arguments, not necessarily mis leading or wrong information.

I tend to agree with inchworm I liked it.
