I'm only speaking for myself here, but I'm sure that Lusk fully understands what Holyoke is doing (or what his goals are for ponds).
Something about this whole thread and it's genesis has caused Lusk to make a post, in my opinion.
As far as Holyoke's stocking recommendations, I refer back to the Brady Bunch and the Caveat Emptor thing.
One thing is for certain though (at least in my mind). If a new pond boss had access to this forum before going to Holyoke, there is really no way that they would follow those stocking recommendations. Laura & Lew said as much.
