So do I, and I try constantly to get across the fact that there is a huge wealth of knowledge in the aquarist community, but getting stirred up about it is not the way to get the message across. I've lost my temper in the past over people from institutions debating husbandry issues that have long since been resolved by the private aquarist community. It doesn't work, so the information has to be presented differently, otherwise no-one moves forward.
