How would it have do do with this topic?.....all of that ambiguity. Clear enough? Steve

yes, i am making a correlation between those who pay others to restore an old car and then give the impression that they did the work themselves and those who have others design, build, and maintain a pond for them and then give the impression that they did the work themselves.

i am not implying that anyone on this board does this, and i do not know of anyone on this board who does this, but i do know of one person in the hobby who does this and i would guess that there are a lot more.

the thread is about respect, i am giving an example of the type of person i do not respect.

why do you think i am implying that someone on this board does this?
