Topic: Seahorse article Posted: December 14 2004 at 10:53pm |
I can't believe I'm actually starting a topic about seahorses. It is ironic because I really don't like talking about them. Anyway for you seahorse people out there (Suzy) I could use a favor. Please read this article and tell me what you think. It just came out about 10 minutes ago. I know the author and considered inviting her as a speaker (before we had Bob Burhans). I don't really care to read through the article so please let me know if it sounds like she knows what she is talking about and if this is useful.

Adam-- Ijust read that article. Has a lot of good begginer
information. However to me (mind you this is my opinion) it jumps
around a little to fast and frequently and kind of just skims the
mentioned subjects. It could have been a touch longer and added a
little more in-depth information for each subject. However like I
said great begginer, easy to get a taste of seahorse keeping quickly.

I agree, a good beginner article. I did notice a few things that made me think, but mostly, good beginner info. I actually thought your article was way cooler! (But, this is not speaker stuff, 'cause Nate coulda told you that!)

Ok, maybe I shouldn't give my opinion on this because my wife keeps telling me I am extreemly irritable right now because of finals. Oh well. I found that this paper was only mediocure. It seemed aimed beginners to the aquarium hobby not at experienced hobbyists wanting to try seahorses for the first time. I also felt that while it was directed at beginners it used a lot of technical jargon that a beginner would not understand. Lastly I felt that the author herself was not an expert on the subject but that she was doing a research paper on the subject. To me it was like reading an ok college research paper without any citations. Im sorry if this sounds rude. Maybe I am not in a position to judge it, but Adam asked for opinions.

Kevin- Don't feel bad, that is exactly what I was hoping to hear. In terms of honesty, what the comments are didn't matter to me, but it was that insight I'm looking for.

He just loves me more! Adam, I though she was your friend, so I didn't get too grumpy! But, now that the cat is outta the bag, I agree with grumpy!

Thanks Suzy. Alex- we have lots of seahorse lovers here, but Suzy is rock solid in terms of talking about them. I knew she would reply, not sure who else would. Please do share your thoughts.
