If the disagreements remain RESPECTFUL there should be no problems. It
was the lack of respect for those who were disagreed with that caused so
much flaming and hard feelings over the years here. Being called an
a$$hole (and worse) simply because you have a different viewpoint is
absurd and guaranteed to either flare tempers or drive people away.
Either way the group loses.

Whatever has happened has happened.....however, this is an on-topic
discussion between two people - granted I hijacked the thread to
actually talk about ponds and that may very well be deemed off-topic by
some at the moment...but in the words of my teenage sons
"whatever"...so, unless you have something constructive to add to a
discussion about ponds between two people - go hijack your own thread
and leave this one to those of us that want to have a gentle on-topic
pond chat
