RedForeman ©® - 24 Jun 2004 19:28 GMT aren't all these articles, available somewhere on the net? In other words, why spend money, when any question that is asked, can be answered, right here, or by someone in this(these) groups?
Tanks, but no tanks... :-)

Or why buy books, or magazines, or anything printed when you can surf the net? It's another medium. They may not be of interest to you, but many people like to get away from their computer and have some bedside reading or elsewhere. Also, these newsletters are not printed on the net that I know of, and they contain an interesting history and collection of the local Cichlid club. I respect that you may not be interested in them, but I suppose someone else will be. I enjoyed them for many years, and now would like to pass them on to someone else, rather them recycle them with the garbage. Cheers, Philip

LOL, you're getting too cynical in your old age Red ;~) Books are good, especially for topics which don't evolve at a fast pace. A filtration article written in the 70s might be close to useless, but if the topic is how to induce a species of fish to breed, then chances are good that it's as valid today as it was then. In my experience, these dusty old volumes often have gems of information which have been forgotten, or were just not migrated up into electronic media.
When it comes to specific topics, the Internet has a lot of the sameness copied back & forth, and while it's more current, the depth of experience tends to be shallower (the last 10-20 years). I can often glean a lot more information details from my collection of reference books. In the future, I'm sure the internet will be a more reliable single source of information, but until then, it 'skins' most topics, and much of the 'meat' remains on paper. jmho
