Bill, I think we have to have both on this forum. We have to have the very technical and the simple explainations. We do this with aeration, drain sizes and lots of other issues.
My guess is that pond management started out as "get rid of the bullheads and green sunfish and put in bluegills and LMB". We are expanding way beyond BG and LMB in our thinking. Along the way, many people are moving beyond "just add lime" to understanding why we add lime. I think that in every answer we need both the simple and technical answers.
