This is exactly whyt a modewrated group is bad. A person does not have
to physically have a pond to have an interest in a pond now do they,
but according to a lot of foolks here if a person does not have a pond
then they must be up to no good so therefore they do not belong here.
Casein point, was a person who tried their damdest to straightenouot
RP, and failed. She wsa from the UK, lurked here for a long long time,
and odds are not one of the rec ponders ever knew of her. She wanted
to listen anbd learn how to do ponds and koi. Her intent was to build
a proper pond.....now where would htis group be with such narrow
minded views that yu need to have a physical pond to have an interest
or be recognized in this group.

Therefore, clearly, she had an interest in ponds. Good enough.

The rest of your post however demonstrates that you neither have such an
interest, nor do you know anything of Carol, who certainly does have ponds.

if you behave better and make it past the moderation process)
