The joy of mistaken identity

Funny how some sellers treat us very well cause they assume we were someone else. On the plus side, we've got good deals (the guys must have been having good reputation), but on another side we've felt bad to take advantage of them. We tried to rectify this whenever we can, but after awhile, we just ignore it :)

This happens both in Discuss and Betta communities (though we're being identified as different persons). It may have been the fact that we don't socialize much and would like to keep our daily life as private.

Doh, as much we love the hobby, the hobby should stay as it is. Don't get us wrong, we love old friends and new ones. Still keeping in touch with them. Some we hated but they stick like magnet, in a good way..., but the dealings are more *to the point* these days. You want X, we have X, we'll give you X. Go away, do your experiments, and if you have something we love, we'll contact you and get it... Perhaps we just get older, more isolated and do things on our own. Besides, who can socialize with us these days, with the very limited (and odd) time we've been having.

This mode of communication has its downs. We come to accustom that not everyone is going to reply back to us. Things get sorted in days, rather than minutes. The good thing about it, we also are not expected to reply to anyone unless we have free time. So if you don't hear from us for days, don't be surprised. Most times we're here and there, but sometimes VZ and me will have to travel as part of the job.

So for those out there, if you are looking for your long lost friend, we used to be moving about, stayed for a year in QLD (back 5 years ago), landed in Parramatta (8 months or so) and now North Turra. Previously we stayed briefly in Perth, that was the good old time when nothing can be found there (in the pet shop). Otherwise, you're looking at the wrong guys (but happy to get acquainted with you! though keep your distance). AD has a bunch of his lost friends, but that's because most of them went back to Vietnam :)
