Useless?? Stupid??
I thought this topic was to show the wildlife that sensible people can enjoy whilst out sailing around "their" ponds/lakes.
As Bunkerbarge rightly said and to paraphrase, responsible model boaters have to realise that the water is shared with the wildlife and that it has an equal right to the habitat - maybe more so - then we do.
Do not forget, the wildlife was here well before mankind came along and started to screw their natural habitat up, be it ponds, forests or where ever.
I suppose you would like to see none of the "useless, stupid creatures" around so that you could have a wonderful time making a "natural" noise with your i/c boats?
Perhaps, if you had one, you would think that letting your dog run around barking/defecating and chasing after the wildlife, you would think that that is natural as well?
I had always thought that you were quite an intelligent young man. Please prove that you still are and that your post does' not reflect your true style of thinking.
I enjoy wildlife. I also enjoy model boats but I would never put boats or any other hobby before it.
