Walt as always I am emphasizing informed choices based on as much info as is available. That way the pond owner can choose as he/she wishes. What to stock depends on many factors including location and is goal based. Hopefully if we all provide the info wise choices can be made. If someone with the info chooses to go way outside the box that is ok as its their pond.

I know plenty of people who have just F-1s and plenty who have mixed populations and some just Flas. An examination of the thread would show that I don't agree with the F-1 warning but acknowledge the possibility that it may have some merit. We are in the integrate zone ( where Northerns , Flas and F-1s and Fxs all exist )so we are matching our genetics to that and started long before the warning.
