Newsletter is Online

Kris your right about the appoligy, sorry I haven' had a chance to respond before this. I do accept your appoligy Chris, but I still feel the same way about changing things. Kris I'm sure you will agree with me when you do something for the group you would like it presented to the group in a way you feel comfortable with.

I would like to see the news letter continue as well. But lets make enjoyable for the people who choose to get involved, and enjoyable for the club. Does it really matter how it looks?
 
Chris, what I believe Joe was getting at was....those were the decisions made by the council on how to proceed from this point forward. That's fine if you wanted to print out some copies for the meeting or include some extra stuff as a "continued test sample". But we, as the council, decided not to fund the paper with club money and that there should not be any paid advertisement. It's as simple as that. Someone please step in if I'm wrong, but I don't think anyone will mind if you print out copies, granted it's out of your own pocket.

Other than that, I think the issue is closed. I'm sorry things have gotten off track here, but there is no need for negative or derogatory comments (yes, you too Linda:p ). Chris, we would greatly appreciate it if you continued to work on the paper. If you decide not to, that is your choice. But from this point forward, lets stop the bickering, put our differences aside, and get back to having fun.


EDIT: I would also like to state that Joe is a vocal part of the council. Not everything he says is his own opinion or words. BUT, if it is the council's decision, then that's how we will proceed. No matter how controlling or not it may seem.

Lets remember this is the 1st issue :rolleyes: Yes it should be fun and yes things defin seem to get taken out of context on the board:( :worried2:

I can also see where Chris is coming from I'm sure he felt some pressure in getting this done!.. He made a call.. Sure it would have been best to consult Steve "Jaze36" Accidents happen. He expressed his appology one that should be accepted and move on!.. It was a hard call but also made sense. It would have looked ugly with two lines on the back :rolleyes:

Chris it was very professional & truely an excellent 1st edition;) Can we keep the pace and set forth??? Damn drama!! Arrrr

I also agree things should be kept in Pm's. Linda you could have Pm'd your post also. So with that said thats how i feel. I can understand everyone's fustration. lol

I agree with Chis Z. I think that we all owe Chris a great thaks for his hard work on the Newsletter. I personally gave Chris B permission to change what I wrote as necessary. No big deal. The matter between he and Steve seems settled. I hope it is and that everyone involved is on good terms.

The name of the newsletter does not bother me. If it bothers enough people that discussion can be taken up later.

Chris B put alot of time and effort into the newsletter. That deserves the thanks of everyone in the club. I think that this has potential and that it can be fun.

As I remember, the Ad would stay as a mock-up placeholder, however, we need to make a definitive decision on that. I see no reason to argue. No damage done. My personal feel ing is that we need to work out what we want our relationship with our local stores to be.

My request, once again, is for constructive commentary and mutual respect.

The rewards are great.
Not greater than the comradery it is degrading.

Dave Espi, where are you with your tasteless humor? This thread needs you!
 
I just read this whole thing and all I can say is WOW.

I don't know what the hell is going on in this club but, it's not a good thing. There has been so much childish bull s h it going on lately...... it's not funny anymore.

Chris Buono, I don't know you too well but you have a lot of nerve....... Steve is a teacher for Christ sakes... who are you to edit what he wrote. Are you out to make people look bad????
He wrote the article, if there was a problem you should have contacted him. Not just taken it upon yourself to rewrite his deal.

I knew that this newsletter was going to be a problem...... that's why I voted against it. If you all want to ban me or kick me out of the club that's fine....... I don't care anymore.

This is the same BS as the Dave Papo crap a while back....... This group is falling apart again..... and way too soon. This "club" is way too young to have these problems.

Chris

Chris, I like you. Why would you say such a thing? It's comments like these that get us into messes like this. Do you really think I wanted to make Steve look bad? Does anyone think so? I didn't even attribute any specific part of the newsletter to any one person. Everyone was listed as "Contributors." Everyone's participation was reflcted in the entire newsletter. And since you asked, I was trying to help Steve (and by extension, the entire newsletter and club) look good.
 
Hay guyz.. waht is thies thraed all about ?

Hay guyz.. waht is thies thraed all about ?

I rewrote errrrrr I mean EDITED this issue of the Club drama rag of a newspaper, and here is MY version of how it would read if I was in charge of it. Complete with typoos and grammar errorz.

The most recent CDMAS meeting was out in eastbejezus at this kicken pad owned by Rainer and his hot wife Cathrine. There was some good eats and "beverages of a refreshing nature" that were consumed with great gusto and colonic fortitude. There was 16 of us that hauled our a$$es out there past teh cowpie fields and braved a 40 minute trip turning into two hours by getting stuck behind a traktor doing 7 mph in a 55 zone with absolutely not a chance of passing it for 12+ miles. Teh trip out ther was worth it. We all put fingerprints on his front glass and drooled spittle on his carpetign because his setups are totaly nice and clean and not any dead fish floating in the sump or any hair algae at all.... He must have CLEANED his tanks the day before we got there..... noooooo not like just everyone else doesen't do that ... hurrr hurr hurr..... Either way they were impressive and he has this porker of a rabbitfish in the tank too. There is a super comfortable couch infront of the tank that I'm sure would be glowing in the black light or under UV from being "used" as I for one know I'd be macking it to the ladies while sitting there with a bottle of red or Dom with Barry White singing in the background....
One of the major discussion topics of the night was the format of the CDMAS newsletter. An outstanding print copy of a possibility of what the newsletter could be was brought by Dave ESPI for discussion. Multiple opinions were voiced during this time, but in the end it was decided that first issue would be content only, and available on-line. I took it upon myself to make up this mock copy to show " LOOK WAHT AH KAN DO !" to the rest of the slackers in CDMAS, and well, this is what ya get ! Pretty neat eh ? look, it's even in C O L O R ! Nicely done Dave! I'm pattin' myself on the back here...
AS usual, there was a raffle where they used the shortest armed person in the club for the ammount of tickets you get for 5.00.... To cap off the night the meeting raffle was held. The first Winner was Ken Twinam. Ken won a Blowup Doll. He couldn't use it, because he likes rough sex. Ken said he had one before, and she just farted and flew out the window when he bit her neck. Rainer gladly accepted it as a consolation prize since he wanted a 3some, and comeon... that's just H O T ! The second winner was Linda Close, who won a nice montipora plate coral donated by Tony Ambesi. SHe too wanted the 25 doll, but she settled for a quickly copped feel of it's hoo-hah and giggled maddly. The third winner was Joe Allard winning some Kent supplementations(they sucked anyway). The final winner was Dave Carter; who won a Kent pro scraper. Last I heard, he was using it to peal the bugs off his windsheild from the ride home out of "the boonies".
So well, The next meeting will be an exciting one for sure... OHH BOY !!! MORE COWS AND POO SMELL ! the first joint CDMAS, HVRK frag and swap meet. The date for this event is November 11, Linda and Tom Close are the hosts. Hope to see you all there." Oh eayh, and I'm cooking, so you punks better be greatfull for my long and arduious hours spent typing up this newsletter, because you really are cutting into my beauty rest and stress management classes start in an hour, and I'm already 1/2 hour late for leaving to go.

see ya in a few weeks....

ya B i t c h e s !
 
Good job to both Chris Buono and ESPI.....lets not take ourselves too seriously folks....it's about reefing...not a life or death situation as a rule....unless you have issues with electricity and water mixing...my opinion....for what it is..




Toys for Tots...see your local Marine Corps Reserve to give
 
ROFLMFAO :lolspin: Nice article Espi!! I like it. I give it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: You have my vote for editor and chief of our newsletter !
You musta been so busy writing that article, it seems you forgot to come pick up that garbage bag I marked " Corals" for you. I think the garbage man has it now. I hear they are going to start a reef tank at the Town of Colonie dump. :D
( See ESPI's post in my HELP thread if this doesnt make any sense to you.)
