Anyway, building walls, be they of concrete or sand seems to be ridiculous to me when a little courtesy will solve the problem. Oh well.

BTW, I think dams, even temporary ones are frowned upon by DES.
Progress or just a lack of reiteration? I still don't advocate poorly built docks even if you think poorly built docks are somehow progress. I don't claim to have all the answers but I cannot imagine how shoddy workmanship or lack of care for one's property has ever been the right thing to do

I suspect everyone agrees that courtesy will solve the problem. There isn't enough though. That's the reality that needs to be dealt with. Protecting your property hardly seems ridiculous to me. I'd swear it's common sense.

If the law (through the DES) does not allow you to protect your property and allows others to damage it, well, I guess you're hosed. You've obviously done your homework and realized nothing can ever be done. Sad to say it seems that giving up is the right thing to do in this case Perhaps I'm just too optimistic.
