Well, JR is the most respected person on the Koi Boards....So, he should have access to every board...I am sure they help fix any problems he has.

He stated on NI that he's at war with his firewall, and can't get into Koiphen as well.

I have the same trouble with one of the games I play. Worm protection makes an exception for a while and then suddenly the only way to play is shut it all down. Scary!
Firewalls can perhaps be the same?

What does P T Barnum and the famous Donguri line of koi have in common?

Hint: "something about being impressed with size is a guy thing, I think?"
OK, for the curious. I have the info so here it goes. Thought it was interesting, but that's me.
A London Zoo keeper named a baby elephant they received from Africa. The exact info is sketchy but the name given to the little calf was a derivative of African word Zulu jumba or Jumbe for chief. The name that stuck was "Jumbo", Jumbo the elephant was exibited in London and sold to PT Barnum where the elephant became an English icon. Jumbo was so popular that from then on, anything big, clumsy and large from peanuts to jet airplanes were described a "jumbo".
The Donguri line of koi have the recognizable distinction of jumbo sized koi.
As a side note, After being an animal star for many years, Jumbo met his or her maker after being tragically hit by a train.
