Who here has extensively studied an LMB population where the RW of the entirety of the population of positively identified sexes can be determined over their lifespans? Anyone? If so, please reach out to me by PM because I would LOVE to see your data. I use to dream of this place as being a great source of good data.

Not sure what Theo is trying to say but it seems to be this. Do not trust facts but rather rely on impressions that people have from their personal experience of pond ownership. Don't trust the facts if sourced to a scientific paper. To be sure, I rarely start a thread that doesn't challenge conventional thoughts. Theo is always there to shoot the messenger. Sometimes people I guess don't want factual information when they disagree with it.

The primary reason that I post this is help you all. I get nothing out of it but crap from Theo and occasionally some great conversation and a new friendship. Anyways if one is going to try to sex his LMB as he culls it may behoove him to use a more reliable method of sexing LMB.
