"...I highly recommend The Red Fish Page to you. It has taken the "diary" format and tweaked it to wonderful effect. It is witty, fresh, and well-designed; it creatively uses one of the WWW's first genres to provide great entertainment. Published from Israel, Red's site is a joy to visit simply because of the way it plays with our expectations. It claims to be a journal, then explains and demonstrates why it's -- well, ehm, actually not quite a journal. Good humor. "Red" and "May" make quite a tag-team."

"Only a monthly update, but the monthly update is like a new website. hyperlinked. dynamic. It's like picking someone's brains. Funny, insightful, imaginative. Nice roller coaster ride. The contrast of the plain black text to his crimson scribbles in the margins keeps the synapses firing. Great look. Great content. Great site. I only wish he could do it more than monthly."

"Pretty amazing site you have there! I'm impressed. Any chance for Hebrew? You could do a real great online SIPUR BEHEMSHECIM, you know."

The answer - surprise - is Yes!

"I'm just about done looking around your page. I have to say, it wasn't anything like that which I had expected. What can I say! Great work! I loved everything! The humor, the writing, the format, the wonderful non-linearity of it all (which means this is bookmark material) and the artwork. To sum it all up - it is an oasis of originality in a wasteland of cliche."

"Well, Red Fish, I didn't regret it. Of course, I didn't understand all of it either - but I LIKE THAT.
May the hooks of life foul on the reefs surrounding your glory.
May your spawn sweep seaward with every tide.
May your fins be perpetually erect, yet mobile.
Lastly, Is that fish a carp or what?
I especially enjoyed the small page by MAY. She sounds like an uncommonly sensible person.
In summation. Good job."

"I visited your homepage and was impressed with the persona you've carved out for yourself. To sound the part of the true editor "wit"--the kind who writes blurbs of praise for book jackets--I'd say, "Your ambivalence and cynicism show that you have a distinct finger on the pulse of the cyber-medium," which would make me a bullshitter--or, as Salinger's Holden Caulfield would say, a "phony." Still it would sound nice. Yeah."

"Florentina Mudshark stared in horror at the mess on her screen. Lordy, but the asylums must be straining their seams these days, if such as these were permitted to roam the streets.
Florentina took another slug of turnip vodka and considered alerting the Fish to the error of its ways, but decided to let the poor creature live. For a woman who regularly practiced vivisection on the unsuspecting were-chickens, that was generosity indeed.
"What-ho", she mused, idly removing fur-balls from her ears (the cat had been a little over friendly during the night), "To think that once we drew paintings on the walls of caves.... and now we have poor-quality polyester clothing! Isn't science marvellous!!!!"

"The high level of creativity and sarcasm were really well thought out... (Always a winning combination) You've got a great Web stop, even though I'm not from Zeta... Plus ( and this is the BIG one) you mentioned Maayan Keret, so that's an instant win right there..."

"I have looked at your site and feel the quality and theme to be superior, but I don't feel it's quite what I am looking for with regards to this award. Because of this, I have decided to present you with the "Superfluous Award for Web Excellence." This award is presented to those sites that don't quite fit within the limited confines of my current awards, but are obviously deserving of recognition. You have put together a wonderful website and I feel you more than deserve this award."

"Seriously, no poking-fun-at, some of the finest examples of why I love the net...random surfing leads you to content so excellently mundane, but with an almost indescribable surreal aspect which hooks you to read on and on.
Thanks for taking the time to share a piece of your world, and for taking the time to make it so utterly enjoyable."

"Henceforth ever after, let it be known that Sir Red Fish of The Red Fish Page, by virtue of his unrepentant devotion to non-normality, his propensity for naming his cars, his pliant wit, engaging writing style and dubious ability to spell "Massachusetts," is hereby admitted with honors into the Knights of Little Bohemia, Loyal Order of Hinkson."
