Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Please post a link to it as there seems to be some confusion as to who its from

Mass confusion.... It's Murrays blog site.

Hi to everyone,

First off Ian, maybe thats why I am such a bad bowler.

Now that the person has been revealed I will post the complete email that I received, to keep everyone in the net.

Hope this clarifys a lot of the info.

Thanks for that when i looked for it i got a different site
I cant work out why he is doing it everything is there free anyhow
i bet when Garry and Crusty get hold of it they will have a field day

I dont remember getting that email, I was just thinking of the one promoting the new diy dvd

Crusty took his bat and ball and went home F&F...

He's off to a local high school to watch his aquaponic lettuce grow in 3 weeks...

You mean Crusty the username Rupe.

Saw samion lurking on the site the other day.

I think Crusty used that name on here... but someone from here... used it over there...

Lol. Strange that they would allow that.

EDIT
So he has done a dummy spit!

Good morning Fella's

Usually I'm just a lurker here (too many forums to participate in!)

Paul (aka Crusty) has not dummy spit at all over at APHQ. He is flat out busy at the moment and has found that he was spending WAY too much time on forums talking, talking, when he should have been focussing on working his livelihood. Good on him, I say. Sometimes it is helpful to know when to shut-up for a while.

We all have to prioritise our efforts. Anyway, this is offtopic to this thread.

Back on topic.

I was surprised Murray is going in this direction. I don't believe he has fully though out the idea yet. The DIY IBC thing is fine, but going anywhere near selling subscriber access to already freely given information is a slippery slope for credability. He has at least sectioned off forum access, but it needed to start out empty of posts or only HIS inputs, otherwise the contributors are well within their rights to hold their hands out for compensation. Of course no one would do that, but the principle remains that contributions were freely given by many helpful members of which a number of you here are.

Send Murray a offline note politely asking for a please explain, would be my recommended action. I'll be doing the same shortly.

Have a awesome day everyone, I'm off to Horsham, so Mantis I'll wave as I go past!

Cheers
Mark E.

Not that I really care one way or another Mark... but come on...



Mate, that's not "I'm out of here for a while guys coz I'm so busy".... that's a dummy spit...

oh okay then I actually missed that response and was referring to a conversation. So just so we're clear yes I agree with you on that point .

however I respectfully request that you keep this discussion on topic .
Cheers
Mark

You will find that threads here hardly remain on topic for long.

Thats the charm about this forum. We can speak our minds without fear of being edited, booted or belittled. All hail the moderators

I would challenge you to question the high number of guest browsers on APHQ and see if that is taken kindly. For a forum with such infrequency of posts, there sure are alot of guests.

Back on topic...

Selling information to people is going to happen regardless. Those that have the time or inclination will browse through threads will do so. Those that want the information in 1 page will pay for it. On a free forum, a question is asked and it MAY be answered and it MAY be correct and the one asking questions MAY take the answer up. In a subscription service, someone asking a questions will EXPECT and answer and EXPECT it to be correct and if anything goes wrong with that advice.....

i think we should start a topic, about how threads never stay on topic

I think Crusty is just missunderstood.
If we all gave him a chance , if we listened to his superior kinowledge and infinate intellect we would all be better off. If only we had the supreme knowledge to see that crusty MUST be the worlds ultimate ruler and king , then there would be no anticrustism,
You will be crustied.
Resistance is futile.
