Words do have meaning and I appreciate literal intent in relation to facts and accuracy when evaluating something that I would care to publish. Consider again if you would, “…it is a Japanese hobby to begin with;they invented it, set the rules and standards for it,..." according to Ron. Steve consider again the part where Ron states, "set the rules and standards for it,..." Steve the logic here is related to reading, comprehension and fact checking. Surely you can appreciate this considering, “I would think that you would review your lateset article for KOI USA and double check for accuracy and notify the editor if it is good to go or not," Childers wrote.

And how does that make Ron Goforth wrong or even Taba? Nishikigoi are clearly the invention of the Japanese. For the life of me I cannot figure out how you come up with some of your "logic." Steve
