The future of the magazine

[Martin SJ]

Hi Brian
I don't wan't my money back... - I feel like I cheated you by paying way too little for the magazine... That will be my response when I get the mail...

I hope you can close your buisness down without a heavy loss! Good luck..

Brian,


Add me to the growing list of people who want you to keep any refund. You have more than earned it, and I am happy to see any contribution or article in the vein of Koi-Bito.


Best Regards,

Bob

As a fellow koi lover/hobbyist I would be remisce if I didn't tell you that your magazine was the best on the market for the subject matter. Your in-depth articles into the daily lives of the breeders who bring us the product we so richly cherish will be missed (unless of course you can find a way to continue to produce those here on the web). I also wish to join the list of non-refund customers who have enjoyed the ride - short as it was!!

Good Luck - maybe our paths will cross in Niigata this October.

Regards

it's nice to see the trend here, and appropriately so.

Brian's magazine was not full of pablum. It had information that the beginner could be challenged by and the the old vet could continue to learn with......

I'm really anxious to get back to getting information on a regular basis that inform and educate me, if it comes in electronic form well then that's what it comes in.

I'd like to see Brian getting back to being the roving reporter for koi lovers world wide....something he does very well. Seeing a picture of his girls in the magazine told me something about the man that i liked. He cared about his family. I hope he continues the tradition with the electronic version as well.

KB really is about a world wide family and the special place it has that cross the nations geographic boundaries and time zones.

Hi Brain,

Thanks for the great magazines you have produced and I'm very sorry to see that no more will be coming our way.

Please do not refund me any money, what I had was well worth what I paid.

Yeah Brian, count me in too. I don't want any refund - just consider it as a 'thank you' gift for your hard work.

You know, I guess that's why this hobby crosses the boundaries of society. People from all over the world, within this hobby, seem to share a common bond and it seems to bring out the best in people. The common thread here is that we all appreciate Brian's hard work to provide the hobbyists with a quality product with a high level of educated information. When you do that, you receive the respect and admiration so richly deserved by your peers. Just so nice to see an International group respond in this manner. That's part of the reason we all continue to enjoy this hobby of ours. It's not for everyone, just those that seek a higher plane.

Good Luck Brian. Please keep us posted as to your next endeavor(s).

Keep the money Brian and best wishes for the future, I always thought you undervalued your finished product.In amongst the dearth of top quality koi reading material I would have happily paid double if not a bit more.
