    Folks,

    Sam (AKA "Sue" and Helpme!) has apologized. Previously Sam was using the Helpme! (and the NeighborTomita) account while Sarah was out of town. The Helpme! account is banned so you STILL aren't talking to Sarah...you're talking with Sam right now but now he's forced to use Sarah's account (NeighborTomita). It's confusing I know.

    When Sarah hears about this, he's gonna get this.

    It wasn't wise and I believe him when he says, "He wishes he hadn't".

    Instead of spending our time expressing anger, take comfort in these things;

    3Reefers banded together to help this fictional person
    3Reefers said things nicely to this new person. I don't recall one person saying, "You irresponsible oaf. You have no business owning a fish tank". Instead, all of you gently pointed out that they have a lot to learn and gave links to information to help "Sue".

    I think you all deserve a big "pat on the back" and I hope you don't use this situation to avoid helping others in the future.

    Sam will be lucky to get just the rolling pin talk from Sarah.

    I don't know dude... I feel like Alice falling down the rabbit hole.

    Maybe peredhil isn't so far from the truth.
    I did notice this, and pay attention to the time line here:

    That seems to be a person that knows about tanks. And in fact, seems to be the real Tomita.

    That was the bogus account with the bogus problem. Only 14 minutes between the two posts. If, in fact Tomita was online and helping at Night-Rida's thread, wouldn't she had seen all these emails "Sue" or "Sam" or whomever intended for Tomita?

    Hope I'm wrong. But if Tomita messed up, the apology needs to be sincere.
    I have gotten help from Tomita and laughed with Tomita's post and sense of humor. We are human and make mistakes.
