Yup I totally agree with what you are saying. Let's put it this way, I agree to disagree.
Everyone has their values and perceive the value of things differently.
If I tell my wife the cost of my corals, she will chase me out of the house
Likewise the value I perceive fishes / corals is also different from you.
Hence the mismatch in pricing ideology and different interpretation of the term profiteering.
I feel that this is a good topic to platform fellow reefers thought and though I doubt anything will change, but at least, it gives an insight to the thoughts of many reefers who penned their opinions. You have handled this very well Yi Kai and like I said, you are very level headed for your age and I think Larry made a good choice in appointing you as one of the mods.
cheers and happy reefing!
