NO,
Ballots are due by Nov.15 2008. You can NOT wait for the election!
For all who support Li, I thank you.
Li can help bridge a gap between the ACA and the younger fishkeepers.
Just remember to join the ACA, get your Ballot as this is NOT an electronic election(Online), and show Li your support!
Futhermore, many of you have voiced support for Li here at MFK and I am assuming that many of you are already ACA members. Please support the ACAForum.com if you are members so that the ACA can continually evolve into what it needs to become! Your support, experiences, pics, and fellowship are very much needed and wanted to help the ACA bridge the gaps and pass the torch to the younger generations!!!
As I have said many times, you have my vote my friend.
Thanks for running, Rich
Perhaps Li should make an announcement as many do not read the "Lounge"topics.

The ACA is against Hybridization of Cichlid bloodlines. The world's habitat is decreasing at a rapid pace and the domestic breeding of Cichlids is another avenue for the continuation of bloodlines. Brazil and others are banning the export of some wild fish. This trend will most likely continue. At some point, we may only have the choice of buying from our own questionable domestically bred stocks.
Back to the ranch, there is a lot of Hybridization talk on these boards. Why not come out with a firm stance or official pinned statement on the boards that you own with your clear views on the subject? I hope that they would be against. It wouldn't decrease your membership, but would hopefully give guidance to new members.
Best of luck running for office.

The statement is based around the breeding of different cichlid species to one another. The comment was not intended to eliminate hybrids, which you stated are not going away, but both to find out Li's position( the ACA does not support Hybridizing Cichlids) and to place forth one of many reasons to support the argument.
"Fish snobs apparently aren't either."
Li was able to answer intelligently on his own. Your ignorant statement brought me back to this boards beginning when you didn't know your butt from a hole in the ground. You have grown greatly. I like how you changed your position to kiss the butt of the master that feeds you. Did you not get the kudos you desired from speaking for a person who has a mouth of his own?

My position on the matter reflects my own opinion. I haven't changed my position, I don't own any hybrids. I genuinely think that MFK represents a change in the attitudes of fishkeepers. There are too many boards out there that are highbrow bashers of anything that they don't approve of. I don't have a master that feeds me, I could afford microwaveable burritos long before I became a member of MFK, before I accepted a non-paying job on this site. My only payment is the knowledge I gain from the members here. I didn't agree with Li in my statement, I expounded upon his post. I think my stance was much more detailed and straight forward. I think the majority of the fish clubs suck. He may or may not agree with that, and I don't care. That's my position, not his. I think that he would represent a potential change in the way people think about the fish world. I'd be interested in membership in an ACA that does not adopt policies that I don't agree with. If there is another candidate that wants to tone down the rhetoric, please let me know. We all share a common interest in the hobby, even if we don't share a love for the same fish. The political rhetoric is what causes a loss of enjoyment for me.
