Hogwash. You don't have a clue as to why many of us would like to see more consistent lake levels. You may know someone who simply wants to "maximize his shoreline investment", but how do you extrapolate that one person to the other people on this forum that you don't know? That's a pretty narrow conclusion to arrive at, one simply based on your judgement, and deserves very little credibility.

Regardless of whether the lake has fluctuated for 100 years or 5 years, that's no reason for these fluctuations to continue. "Because we've always done it this way" is no guarantee that there is not a better approach.

By the way, that previous post wasn't a rant, and it wasn't without substance. My point, which you apparantly didn't get in the previsous post, was a simple comparison. You consider that the fact that people who bought seasonal water lots, knew this water to be seasonal, and simply got what they paid for. However, you consider traffic and development on the lake to be a problem, even thought you must have known when you purchased your property that there was a potential for there to be increased development and increase in boat traffic. Unless your purchase contract had some detail prohibiting further development on the lake, sounds like you got what you paid for to me. I don't want encontrolled development any more than the next person, but your argument is just contradictory.
