Bump 4 the convention....
 
Hi,

this is Heiko Bleher and I just returned from the INTERZOO 2008 in Nuernberg, Germany, the greatest pet exhibition and fair in the world with the display of some rare stingrays (some of it to be seen on www.aquapress-bleher.com and soon more).

But the main reason why I am writing, is because we have no news in Europe (not anymore lately) about the upcoming stingray convention. No one of us, if myself, nor other scheduled speakers like Frank Zijmans and others (they all contacted me and asked), get answers from Ross or the organizers. Does anyone know if they canceled the event????

Please let us know. (Ands I am promoting it also worldwide, recently in Russia, Japan, Finland and the next weeks in Poland, Romania, and China).

Best regards

O Sr. Bleher tenta desqualificar qualquer evento ou discussao em que ele nao participa. Os organizadores do proposto simposio sobre arraias de agua doce, estao de parabens em exclui-lo do evento. Isto e' apenas o ultimo exemplo desta atitude predatoria que o Sr. Bleher tanto cultiva. Basta
 
hmm.. is this an accurate translation?
"Mr. Bleher attempts to disqualify any event or discussao where he is not participating. Organizers of the proposed Symposium on arraias of fresh water, are of parabens in excludes it from the event. This and 'just the latest example of this predatory attitude that Mr. Bleher both grown. Just"

Symposium is not cancelled to my knowledge.
 
Hi Nickdog98,
thanks for tying to translate, but first I will write to the Brazilian whom I do not know, and as it looks from the way he writes I really do not need to ever know such an ignorant person, who does not even have the courage to sign his name.

Preazado Senhor,

eu não conheco o Senhor, nem sei o seu nome, e aparentemente o Senhor falta não só de respeito de escrever num forum de lingua Inglésa em Portugues, mas ainda por cima não tem o respeito de escrever o seu nome quando faz uma acusa deste genereo.

Para responder a sua acusa falsa:
1. Eu foi invitatdo para duas palestras do Dr. Richard Ross, e nemuma outra persoa. E não recebi ate hoje um cancellamento deste envito do Senhor Ross. As palestras foram publicadas em muitas partes do web (desdo inico doi ano), tambem no proprio site do Symposium. A copia é visivel no nosso site: www.aquapress-bleher.com (under latest news)

2. Quando eu estou sendo invitado, eu respeito e agradeco esta invitação e fazo o que eu poder para ajudar – e especialmente no caso de um evento tão importanto, e não so para a aquariofilia – porque tenho um reputação neste mundo de aquariologia e no mundo cientifico, come deve saber (mais nao importa - mas qual é a sua?).

3. Eu nao fiz nemuma acusa ao Symposium, nem falei mal como o Senhor quer interpretar aqui. Aparentemente seu Ingles não e bastante avancado para entener o que eu pedi: Informação do que esta acontecendo, porque não só eu, são mais dois convidados (os mencionados) para da palestras. Eles tambem não recerberão alguma resposta do Senhor Richard Ross a mais de um mes, e todos dois visitarão o meu stand na Interzoo 2008 perguntado se eu tenho conhecimento do que esta acontecendo. E come logo enviei outro e-mail ao Senhor Ross sem receber resposta denovo, escrevi aqui no Monsterfishkeeper em Ingles, com a esperanca que alguem aqui sabe mais do que nos na Europa. Afim todos tem, que marcar os voôs que am Agosto estão cheios.

Normalmente eu nao devia responder uma falsa acusa deste genero, mais eu fui educado differente.

And to you all I will translate:

Dear Sir,

I do not know you Sir, nor do I know your name and you do not have the respect to write on an English forum in that language, but you also do not have the respect to sign your correct name under such false accusations.

But I will answer you false accusations:
1. I was invited by Richard Ross to hold two lectures at the Symposium and I never received a cancellation from him. The lectures, together will all others, were published in the worldwide web, on this forum and on the Simposium of Freshwater Stingray site. Copy if that site was placed also on our website www.aquapress-bleher.com under Latest News (anyone can verify it).
2. When I am invited for lectures I respect that very much and I do what I can to promote the event – where ever I can (and in my text I mentioned some of the places I promoted it, by far not all) – and specially for such an important event not only for the community of aquarists, but also for scientists. And fortunately I have a very positive reputation with both community worldwide. What is your reputation?
3. My English is good enough to write correctly and I did not make any accusation to the Symposium or anyone, I simply have made an inquiry on this great site, were hundreds of entries have been published about this Symposium, if they know anything, or if anyone can give an answer. I did it also because at Interzoo 2008 I had a visit on my stand of two more invited guests to speak (names are mentioned in my text above) and they asked me what is going on, as they also had no recent information/answer received from Richard Ross, and everyone needs to book their flights as in August every flight is full (vacation-time in Europe).
But it seems that your English is not good enough to understand that (or you never wanted to understand it correctly...), instead you make false interpretations of what I wrote.
You really a a very un-polite person, to say the least, and I feel sorry this great site has such un-correct members.

Now maybe we Europeans get an answer after all, so the three of us know if we are to come or not.

Best regards to all of you,

always
