Dave! Where the hell have you been?! Aquatic Plant central is the
place to be. Much better than plantedtank.net
You are a blast from the past. Newsgroups went completly down the
toilet. I don't even know why they are st ill in existence. APD has
become pretty much a relic.  There is a dozen or so people who talk
amoungest themsleves. Nothing informative what so ever. Not even any
good spam wars any more.  Aquatic Plant central was started by Art
Giacosa a couple years after I started Wet Thumb. You remember Art?
The first American Amano distrbutor in the mid 90s. I eventually
closed my forum and archived all the posts at APC under an arrangement
I made with Art.. Art eventually sold APC to some cor****ation, which
quietly runs it. It has a very large amount of traffic and member****p
now. Plant tank.net was started about the same time as APC by someone
named Kyle who nobody had ever heard of. It  has a sizeable following
as well. Many people go back and forth between the two.
