Do I think that Eric made a mistake somewhere along the way? Sure, but it is now resolved. MOVE ON PEOPLE!

Hmmm - I get mass emails from other sites too. I do not think that in poor taste. I think I can refuse to allow mass emails from those sites if I wanted. This site has emailed people on other occasions to invite to a special chat session and other discussions as well. This is no different.
If you "get the sense" that RAG is scrambling to stay afloat - your senses deceive you. This has been discussed elsewhere and does not belong on this thread.
The issue is not to be "resolved" here. It is to be discussed (which is what I think we are doing). The issue is even different to different people. To me, the big issue is sloppy paperwork and judgement and preparation to a degree where the government is gonna make it even harder to work in aquaculture or mariculture or even ultimately in reefkeeping.
