of dogs and OT posting and rec.ponds of days gone by
I have not posted to rec.ponds in a long time but I have volunteered to
help moderate the new rec.ponds moderated. I would like to clarify some information ~ First the issue of dogs and ponds. A search of rec.ponds via google for the word dog turned up 6,590 posts. Some of the titles of these posts we Dogs vs Pond Dogs in the pond Dog keeps eating fish Pond Related Dog Question How to keep the dog out of pond??? dog in pond Plant eating Dog (water chestnuts) pond = giant drinking bowl for dogs ??? Frog in the dog's water bowl Can pond parasites harm cats/dogs? Clearly dogs and ponds are a concern to a lot of pond keepers. OT (Off Topic) Before rec.ponds was trashed we had an informal tradition of off topic posting. When folks get to know each other we found we liked to chat about various things and we decided to mark those posts OT - Off Topic. This held the group together. It was especially important during those winter months when most *normal* folks didn't want to talk ponds ;-) OT became a way to stay in touch during quiet times and we found, for the most part, it an enjoyable way to stay in touch. I ran a google search for OT and rec.ponds and found 7,530 results. For seven years rec.ponds was an enjoyable place for me to be. After April 2005 that all changed. We had our problems but we got over them. This is why I'd like to see rec.ponds moderated. To get back to the friendly and pond loving atmosphere we used to have. best wishes for a warm and cozy Christmas to you all, kathy :-) |
