I'm with Catmaster on this one (holy carp, did I just say that! [blush][:p])
It's all the damned lurkers I tell ya! Maybe they oughta install an option like some other (can't be named) forums that require #posts, signup to view reports beyond a certian level.
Jeremy - I've enjoyed your contributions, and have taken my share of "bashing" on both I and U forums. But I keep trying to shrug it off, and tell myself the positives I gain, and hopefully occasionally contribute to, outweigh the negatives (might need new kitties for 2012!!)
And as one of the Utards that might be coming up there to ruin your waters too (certain somebodies keep selling my on the wheres and whys!) I enjoy hearing tails from Up North.
Folks keep blaming FORUM POSTS for fishing pressure. Um, er - population growth??!! Could that have something to do with it? Maybe we oughta attack the tackle stores for telling people what to fish, and where, and how. I'll bet they are MORE to blame than any online forum. But - it IS their business interest to drum up sales, and telling you THIS lure will work on THAT lake - well, ka-ching!
I agree though - if you get a nasty gram, or a slam-delicious reply - reach out to the mods. I've reported posts when I've felt unduly "attacked" and think I've had EXCELLENT response from the Mods. They do a great job at attempting to manage an unruly playground of kids.
Hate to see our GOOD posters get run off. Think about it - if you leave us, what will we be left with?
Hey - if you ever need it, here's a handy "shot" you can share!
