pimpin' for MR.com

[jhale]

to steal the phrase Rich has made so famous, I'm now a manhattan reef pimp. I wanted to make sure this was okay,
in my RC sig. I wrote,
"in the NYC area? come visit manhattan reefs, the best little reef club for new yorkers (and tri-state people)"
is this cool with the mods on manhattan reefs? I thought it was a good way to advertise the site?
I love talking with you guy's, but we need more people imo.
let me know,
Jonathan

Jhale,

I think you can put whatever you want in your signature, but you leave yourself open to criticism. Many who belong to other groups (the Long Island Reef Association and NJ Reef Association to name two) may differ - I agree with you, this is the best place in the tri-state region, so, sign away and see what happens You may want to consider changing that to "Local" reef club in Manhattan, but your call.

bah, if people want to flame me on RC they can. But I did say NYC area, I just did not want to leave anyone out. sometimes people can think that new yorkers are self absorbed and elitist.
I don't know why : ) I think were really friendly ; ) I put away my "welcome to NY, now leave" t-shirt along time ago.
I'll add "local" so our long island brothers don't have a coronary.

I was thinking of adding MR pimp under my name, ala Rich,
but the acronym does not work that well.
I would not want to get confused with Mr. Pimp

i am a memeber of LIRA also. while their meetings are more formal and once and a while have speakers i will take manhattan reefs anyday. also their membership is $25.

scotty, I agree, was just using them as an example as to who might get offended. I agree with you all, this is the best place in town.

well my house and wood shop are on long island, so I guess I can be both from NYC and the island, did I just insult myself

I like MR too, I'm staying with you guys : )
RC is like my library, great source of info

Well speaking as a member of NJRC and MR, MR blows NJRC away. The people here are much more friendly and knowledgable and its much easier to trade and sell whatever you want.

that's nice to hear!
where you at the frag swap? I met so many great people that day! Everyone was friendly and happy, but that could have been the effect of the 500 pieces of coral in the room
