yes try as I might, i cannot forget it either.
And now that you brought it up THAT was another nauseous aspect...
Fellow Bit-ites, YOU HAVE NO IDEA..
imagine my horror after hearing some of the answers to intelligent, thoughtful questions be given abbreviated three word replies after a protracted sicussion by the panel of breeders, to have a person in the crowd ask, " Should I keep goldfish in an aquarium with my Oscars? and will an undergravel filter ever need to be cleaned?"
I don't think anyone around me got to hear their response as i was grumbling to loud.
