One of the things that I love about the WWW is how it changes our perspective. Sometimes distances don't seem quite so vast - when I can "chat" via email with my buddies from California to Sweden, back to Florida, and over to Australia. That's why I play with the internet, and why it seems perfect for something like the Breeder's Registry -- there are many of us around the world who support the goals of the Registry, and now we have better ways to share our information, experiences, and insights, and that in turn will allow us to learn and make significant progress more quickly. A community without distance barriers.

First, I want to thank Mark Rosenstein at Active Windows Productions. He generously started, and runs one of the oldest and best known web sites for people interested in saltwater aquariums. His FINS site (Fish INformation Service) was one of the first and best sources of information gathered using the new medium of the World Wide Web. In addition, he graciously volunteered to put together several pages of information there, about the Breeder's Registry, and that became the unofficial 'official' www site of the Breeder's Registry until this site got up and running.

In the spirit of that 'sharing', folks on the internet are also sharing a lot of information and graphics and tools, to help each other make more effective web sites. All that I have borrowed on this site, was freely offered by others, and I'd like to acknowledge and thank some people and groups, here ...

I do want to thank Ben and Jerry's web site - it's great fun (check out the Flavor Graveyard...!). But they also point the way to borrowing and using some of their great graphics - like the background and spinning earth on this page, and the water background, elsewhere. Thanks to the webhead(s) there!

Jay Boersma is another designer who has created a number of shareware graphics, that I use. Jay wants to help folks use intelligent little graphics as design elements - keeping them small (quick downloads), yet aesthetic, and even informative (check out the info on ' qbullets', designed to "cue" a reader into knowing what's beyond a link).
