Hey Tebstan,

I was raised in California and I have this terrible habit of greeting everyone that I walk by. Of course I lived in the Tejon pass so I wasn't one of those inner city thugs. Er, not that you were...

I was in AD the other day and a new guy was looking for that one piece to add to his almost new aquarium. Jason was walking over the particulars of a few different corals that were on display.

I so wanted to jump in... even though I'm still a Probi. But I just listened in. Jason did use me as an example and I felt comfortable at that point to mention my preference to the coral shown. Despite that I recommended either the bubble or open brain, he picked up a three or four inch Kenya for 24 bones.

My biggest issue are the guys who try to upsale the salesman by recommeding either MAAST or Craigslist.
