I agree with with Dave, it is nice to share and learn from the rest of the pondowners on this board. This is the one site that I fix a cup of coffee and read every morning. I can't blame the pros for staying busy during their busy season. Good for them! I ran a contracting business and I know what work seasons are all about. As far as the finances of the site/mag, some things aren't done for money, but for a love of doing it(maybe I'm wrong). The funny thing is , the quality of the magazine keeps getting better and better.For my part,I think I'm going to send out a gift subsciption or two this year for Christmass. The info from this site has been priceless to me and my pond. And, to add to Bill Duggan's comment, I think we need to give Bill Cody a STANDING OVATION for all the time he's spent helping us amatures!
