RE: REF: iris program

>From my experience with fish and various programs, I cannot agree with
you Anner. There are many people out there who do a program on, say
Loricariids (a catfish group), but none resent that another is doing a
similar program. The better progras rise to the top, and these are the
people that one sees giving the program across the nation. When
presenters of they same type of program should meet at an event, they
usually talk shop and learn from each other.

I have never seen or heard of any animosity in this area of that hobby.

Well  then, sounds like our AIS slide committee should be speaking with
the  Lowe's to see if they'd be willing to make their program more
widely  available as an AIS CD program.


You may wish to consider that they have worked very hard on developing
their
program and might enjoy getting out and giving it to groups as part of
their
personal AIS experience. As for widely available, I believe they have
been
most willing to travel, and have even presented it to an international
audience in Australia.

I don't speak for them, of course, nor do I know the state of their
future
lecture plans, if any. I just think it might be well to consider
whether AIS
needs to cover ground that is already being adequately  addressed. I'd
be most
unhappy if it turned out someone had started to develop a  program
similar to
one I had worked hard on and enjoyed giving as part of my AIS  member's
duty
to educate.

Not to mention it is probably not wise to create an  unfortunate
impression
of tailgating.
