   I can understand what You are saying Jeff.. You can only try so hard..   
   Thensometimes if only one person is posting, it almost seems like a soapbox.   
   Itsure makes it almost a fine line. I know I read it out of interest, but I   
   havebeen one of those persons who do not dive into the hobby due to the fact I   
   knowI would love it and could not afford the cost. It becomes an addiction   
   afterawhile. My Father and 2 uncles were into it and it surely can become   
   anaddiction. One tank and I'd be hooked and at this point I could not afford   
   it.I remember with my Fathers tanks, I found there was nothing more peaceful   
   thanto sit there and watch those fish.. I still am that way even when I go to   
   theDrs. offices that have them. And thats only a small part of the hobby. Wish   
   Icould get into it, but can't at this point.
