CAW25: I am not an amateur who comes on here to learn the basics, and then decides to throw around advice. If you take me as that, you are very mistaken. I currently manage several ponds professionally, and I have ten years of experience doing so, so my knowledge is not theory, it's firsthand, proven experience. I don't recommend anything unless I know it works. If you have experience managing ponds professionally that eclipses mine, by all means continue discounting my scientifically-proven, widely-accepted and recommended advice.
Walt,
Most of us are amateurs, not professionals. Your credentials are undoubtedly impressive.
The point of this forum, however, is for all of us to get together and collaborate. I think your above post, unfortunately, will discourage all of us admitted amateurs from speaking our minds.
You might be spot on with all of your analyses on this forum, but there is nothing wrong with someone else approaching the same problem from a different angle. Disparaging the experiences of others will not help Pond Boss achieve the free flow of ideas. Your opinions are worthy, but they're not the only viable information on this forum.
