ML :
I don't know if they are or are not like the free fish guy. Like you I am not in favor of bashing folks with out solid factual first person info. I do think that I saw a positive post on them but can't find it for now. I thought someone knew and met the primary owner and knew they did good work. But I could be wrong and it may have been someone else or a different hatchery in Ark. I think your approach is correct but I don't want to argue with them if the above info is what they really believe.
BTW how is the Kid's pond (little Theo,ewest... and the rest) doing?
