I don't see any reason to keep this thread going.... it's gone far beyond the original intent, and tempers have flared and gone back down.
I hope everyone can remember that this is "just a fish club," no matter what your feelings on the MRC sponsorship status is. If you agree or disagree, does it really matter? I mean really, as in affect your daily life or even your tank? We have Board meetings to handle club-related stuff, and they're setup like that for a reason - to let people voice their opinions. Can't we just talk about fish stuff???
Anyway - I hope that's not construed as 'a moderator giving a final opinion and closing the thread,' but rather as something for everyone (on both "sides") to think about. Feel free to PM me if you think otherwise.
