Please try to submit posts "that are directly related to Lakes Region topics and activities." Sure, the Lakes Region has its share of ducks, but the core point of the original post concerns how one can eradicate ducks from a backyard pool. The issue is one that people experience in countless communities across the US and really has no direct bearing on the Lakes Region.

In addition, the guidelines note that there is a preference for messages that "actually contribute something." The photo of Pineedles' dog is absolutely adorable, but was that post germane to the conversation after someone already submitted a dog comment?

The Winnipesaukee Fourm is a great resource. Please try to keep to forum guidelines so that the site continues to be edifying, friendly, and entertaining.

Thank you, Thread Police. We will make every effort to adhere.

As you were.
