A couple points:
First, this site has always been for the entire Lakes Region. I may refer to "lake issues" sometimes but the Rules and Guidelines (in the FAQ) refer to the "Lakes Region". The front page of the site says: "Welcome to The Lake Winnipesaukee Home Page, your online portal to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire". Feel free to discuss any lake or pond in the area.
Second, many of you may not realize that I operate this site in my limited spare time. Sometimes I can barely keep up with the email notifications I get from the site. Writing to everyone that makes an insensitive comment is not practical. The strongest hint I can give is moderation.
Going straight by the rules is difficult. Too many posts are in a grey area. That's why we need moderators to interpret the rules, even if they aren't perfect.
