Would you call a bunch of caulerpa a "pet"?  Or have you given a name to
every worm in your grindal worm culture?  Do you take your crypts out for
walks?  

You may own pets.  I own aquariums with working ecologies, I breed fish and I
culture food for these fish.  No pets in my house.

>See you in rec.aquaira.

I have very little argument against rec.aquaria, yet there can be no doubt
that sci groups propagate to more sites than rec.  I would rather see
sci.aquaria pass.  If it does not, there are several people ready to call for
votes on rec.aquaria, which will definitely pass.  If you disagree with sci
hierarchy placement, send in your vote and stop trying to belittle what is a
hobby to some and a science to others.
