I also heard some years back that a golf course employee doing some landscaping work got a little too close to one and got bit. I'd certainly not favor removing them because some people are stupid.
Maybe you missed it, but one of our frequent posters, posted a few known to them personally. I recall the Duval retention pond one with horror.
