Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations A modest proposal

Zep, I have a confession to make. The "modest proposal" description comes from an famous satirical essay written by Jonathan Swift in 1729. His "Modest Proposal", written to parody certain social reformers, was that poverty in Ireland be alleviated by the poor selling their children as food for the rich. (Any resemblance to folks who advocate disposing of children in the womb for financial reasons is, of course, purely coincidental.)

My modest proposal designation is meant as satire against myself, knowing that this would involve major time, effort, and money. I guess this is nostalgia for the way this ranch pond used to be, and desire to keep in fishery management without owning a pond.
