I COULD have called you an idiot or moron, suggested you read the "Koi Pond FAQ", or recommended you take your obviously-uninformed self to some place that sells beginner ponds like Home Depot. Now, maybe the KoolKids here at TC can take a lesson and start being nicer to newbies. Or do you all really get a kick out of your verbal assaults on new members? Because I can promise ya' that from the other side of the fence you just look like rude a-holes.
