I read some other forums and I am very thankful that no one has taken this thread down the "you're a turd" "No you are" "No you are" path.
I did not know what happened and the basics of the story are very important to me. I am a collector. I have been since the heyday of wild live rock collecting. Even though I do not do it commercially anymore the relevance is great to me. I think I may have been insulted but I choose to take the high road and assume that people were not so vitriolic. I will cling to this assumption. It is a good one. No matter what y'all think, I have benefitted. I am here to learn and I have learned a goodly amount. It has changed me in a way I don't feel like sharing right now. Maybe I'll open myself up later.
I was not in contact with Patrick about this thread but he has confirmed some of my assumptions. Sometimes I am right about these things.
