Same here. Unlike many of today's authors, when Innes wrote the
love of the fish really shined through.

I've never heard anything negative about him either. Axelrod is
easy to pick on cuz he's such an a$$hole (or in fish language,
aholehole). Even if most of the rumours are false, they _ought_ to
be true :-)

Seems to me Dr. Innes' field was chemistry...here we go again!

Prost,

Martin
