Profile of a Reefland BB User!

Reinhold · 06-03-2001, 10:34 AM

Ninong: Relax! I've saved you the work of moving this to General Discussions by posting it there too.

After lurking and posting for a few months, I've determined the profile of a typical Reefland Bulletin Board poster:

* 180 gallon tank.
* 4" deep sand bed, 2 lb LR per gallon, and an expensive skimmer.
* Orders from Marine Depot, Premium Aquatics, IPSF, IA, and Jeff's Exotic Fish.
* Lives in Florida or California.
* Is an engineer of some sort.
* Thinks PETA has some good ideas.
* Is a Democrat and hates George W. Bush.
* Worries at night about a Federal ban on a piece of d**m seaweed.
* When not worrying about weeds at night is peering into a tank with a flashlight marveling at all the bugs in the water.
* Owns some other "fringe" type of animal, i.e. lizard, snake, gecko, or tropical bird.
* Has a good explanation for his/her spouse why it is perfectly reasonable to pay $6 per pound for rocks or $99 for a bag of bugs and worms.
* Is more passionate in his hatred for Rio pumps than for social injustice.
* Takes more photos of his Sally Lightfoot Crab than of his kids, (all digital of course.)
* Has spent many hours debating whether to add molybdenum and Strontium to his/her water.
* His/her Caulerpa "goes sexual" more often then he/she does.
* Who am I kidding with the his/her shtick...he's a "he."

you hit the nail on the head!

**golfish** · 06-03-2001, 05:22 PM

I'd say you had about 5 thing right

myreef · 06-03-2001, 07:05 PM

you only got 4 right for me....but I think you hit a lot of the big posts on the board!

I have a 150...close so I gave you credit for that one! LOL

orion25 · 06-03-2001, 07:17 PM

Got 5 right on me. Almost 6 but I ditched that engineering thing after 2 years for accounting (degree only, never did any accounting work - I have not even balanced my checkbook in 2+ years).

john gallagher · 06-03-2001, 07:20 PM

you are exactly WRONG on most of your answers.

MEC · 06-03-2001, 07:45 PM

Guess I'm not typical

Hmm, 4 posts in one year???

I think you are about right on most of those. Except PETA. Exactly right about dubya.:P

Aragorn · 06-03-2001, 08:18 PM

Wrong w/ respect to me. I gotta say though, it's funny!

Personifer · 06-03-2001, 08:57 PM

Wrong with respect to me also, but it is funny.

Starmstr · 06-03-2001, 10:07 PM

I replied once but it's missing ???? Got me on 11 I think.

MarkS · 06-03-2001, 10:48 PM

You replied to the thread in the General Forum.

Bughead · 06-04-2001, 02:11 AM

Right on 6 for me. Unfortunately one of them is about the caulerpa going sexual more often than me.

skipm · 06-04-2001, 04:26 PM

Either you are wrong or I am alot different from the typical user, you only got me on 3 and one of them just barely but I decided to give it to you. Skip

**SPasse** · 06-04-2001, 05:06 PM

Reinhold,

8 out of 16, not bad!

One other profile characteristic that I forgot:

* True reefkeepers seem to have a good sense of humor.

However, some of the wannabes apparently don't.

Sker · 06-04-2001, 06:06 PM

I think this is a very funny thread, you only got me on four of the items.
I will be getting married at the end of this month so the* His/her Caulerpa "goes sexual" more often then he/she does.
may be added to my list but I sure hope it doesn't!!
