I appreciate those of you who have problems, concerns or need help with your marine fish. I know that when one of my fishes is 'off' I get a little sick in my own stomach followed by anxiety.
I receive many personal messages by e-mail -- these are PMs -- seeking information and/or help. Sometimes I get up to 12 in one day. To be blunt, I can't handle them all in any kind of timely manner. So IF you need help AND you want a response, post in the Forum. I may not be able to reply to your PM at all.
From my posts I think you can see that I try to be thorough. So a 'short reply' isn't my style.
If I replied to each PM I would be spending much more time giving private information then public information; and I would end up repeating myself over and over again, since many of the PMs seem to be cyclic with the concerns.
I encourage all who would PM me for information or help to reconsider. Instead, post your questions or situation or what you need here in the Forum where others may help and where others with similar questions or needs can also learn.
The exception to the above is to PM me to look at a post in another Forum on RS, or when I invite a PM.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
