I am sure Bob will want to chime in when he can.

Soap Box time – the Pond Boss Reality

Please note that everyone gets to post their opinion and thoughts and no one criticizes their right to do so or what they say. Much like if someone comes on in need of pond help at least one of us steps up to help. No cost and the only requirement is that you abide by the rules of behavior. Family , encouragement , positive , welcoming , helpful , caring are a few terms that come to mind. Know any other Forums like that ? As with any family there are different personalities , opinions and approaches to life. Not even all the mods agree on everything and that is how it should be. Bob & Mike have gone to great lengths and personal expense to keep the good aspects of the Forum and look for ways to make it better.

The friendships made and people here often transcend this forum. There is a lot that goes on off the record which would touch you very deeply. I know of some and know there are many others unknown to me. I hear about them all the time. I encourage you to look up 3 threads here to get an idea of what I mean. Check on Mason the Pond Boss hound and see just how many went to great lengths for Mason. Yes that effort for an old worn out hound. Second look up the recent thread about George going to Al's pond - ask George what that meant to him. Last look at the story of Matt. Those 3 are public. There are a hundred here of the same nature if you look. There are a lot that are not public and I will not discuss them hear. This place has saved lives , families , businesses and more and has gotten people jobs , opportunities and a new life. It is a reflection of the people here and their commitment to what is right. In that light I have faith that everyone will do what they can to help each other. Each in his/her own time and way.
