Another troublemaking post Newt/Joe_Bauer?

This time I refuse to bite. Hopefully, others are tired of your games, too, and will ignore this trap!

Will need 4 contributors to invest $6,638.00 each. I will be the fifth partner please Ventriloquist count as two

If I had the money I'd do it in a heart beat!!! I'd love to own even a part of a fish like this. But such a partnership brings up a lot questions. Who gets it after the show? Does it stay with the breeder? If so is there a 5 way split of those costs? If it doesn't stay with the breeder, where would it stay? And will this fish be sold later and the money split between the owners? If not, will it remain at the breeders forever? sooner or later it needs to end up in somebody's pond, yes?

James, at the risk of pissing you off, you are becoming quite the boor on this issue. I NEVER said I 'disapprove' of someone who buys a big fish and doesn't grow it...NEVER. I simply said that I would respect someone MORE who DID raise their own and won the big prize. I don't quite get the thrill of being able to purchase a big fish, win a prize and say 'look what I've done.' Yes, you bought a big fish...congrats, and thank you for sharing it with us.

Seems if it's just about the fish, they'd congratulate it instead of the buyer, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

I'm done, amigo...I'm wasting my breath here, as you aren't reading what I'm writing. I expected better from you.

darn, must have struck a nerve. what is it that bothers you about people buying prizes?

[Newt]

Joe, you getting a kick out of some people thinking you are Chucky or me? Tell you what, let's post at the same time, and see if that shuts them up. It's 7:49 right now...post at exactly 7:52, and I will, too. I wonder if they can explain how 'I' do that...

OK, this is my post...though I hate to even acknowledge these fools.

newt, i don't know you and have never met you, came with chucky. but there are some people in the world who just ain't right. they think chucky is me, they think i am you, so i guess that makes chucky you.

we will never convince them, they know everything.

is it 7:52

[Newt]

Well, we were close, mate. Now, if Brian would just check the IP addys, we'd be OK...oh, yeah...they don't believe the IP addys, either, and I'm sure think we can switch back and forth in a minute.

You sure you're not Stephen?

I'm pretty bored with this whole thing...take care.

i did not hit right at 7:52 because the clock on chucky's computer is off.

no, i am not stephen and i have never posted as stephen and i don't need anyone accusing me of being another poster that i am not.

It could be sold to a public facility like Atlanta Aquarium
It could be sold back to a hobbyist
Hopefully, one of the partners would buy out the others
If she doesn't win the prize, than the drinks will be on me
