  1. I didn't read it in details yet (keeping it for a Fall Big-4 trip to come!), but it sure looks good... Great job, Dean, Sal and team.
  2. Just send a Private Message to Willem (JD), and ask nicely... He'll make it happen.
  3. Busy work, family, etc... Blah, blah, blah. Funny, he's finding time to go sea-fishing now. TRAITOR! Jokes aside, many thanks for your generosity, expressed in so many different ways. Oh, and Redcoat does blank in many (most?) venues besides Mexico, so don't feel bad about it...
  4. Brookesy, after a really frustrating week at work, many thanks for giving me quite a laugh with your bird stories...
  5. Read it. I really liked the history article, quite a few things in there I had never seen published so far. The aquarium test is interesting, kudos for the effort, but using young fish in an aquarium, I don't know, I doubt this is fully meaningful. Still, some results were indeed rather unexpected. So much for garlic... And chili pepper doesn't work? Really? Is it why our editor resigned?
  6. Got mine this morning. Just skimmed through it, beautiful pics, will read tonight.
  7. Such major discounts are hard to pass on. I just hope such major sale isn't an indication about the future of the business...
  8. Another very simple thing is to use a credit card that blocks international transactions by default. This doesn't prevent you from the occasional trip and expenses abroad, you just have to go to the credit card Web site and indicate when you're traveling. I have a CapitalOne credit card which works like that, and this is a really easy way to weed out obviously fake transactions. As a side note, the fundamental issue has little to do with online vs real-world. The entire credit card system is weak as hell. Any dishonest merchant can use your credit card number and fake your signature... Notably the Visa cards where entering a PIN number isn't required... It just takes a credit card slip to do so...
  9. Geez. Just catching up with this chain of events. I feel incredibly lucky, I just checked, I was NOT hit (so far) on either of my credit cards. And I am usually not shy of using a credit card for online purchases, although I do occasionally use Paypal, just because it's more convenient. I am very sorry to hear that so many of you are going through this.
  10. Er... Why don't you take time to rest for at least ONE evening, away from Internet forums, databases and the likes? We'll survive, you know... As to the FFF, I decided to extend the deadline for reporting results until Tuesday midnight PST... Still chasing a few folks... Please send missing reports to <jmoisand@gmail.com>.
  11. Personally, I think that Gmail is an absolutely wonderful service. The ability to access e-mails from any type of terminals, to instantly search in e-mail archives using free text, the anti-spam engine is excellent (ahem! until now!), the proper treatment of threaded conversations, and the general friendliness of the interface, this is all just great. And yes, it's free for Gbs of archived e-mails... Actually, it's so easy to search that I now archive quite some misc information in e-mails, as I know I'll find it again within seconds. So yeah, they parse the content to display the ads on the sides (which are inconspicuous enough that I never notice them!) and make a living out of it, but I really don't care. Frankly, the best privacy is to be part of so many billions of archived e-mails... Who will go through that to find out about my dark inner thoughts...
  12. Actually, I found a couple of missing notifications in my (gmail) spam folder... Which usually works so well that I no longer check it... You're right, Evil Google is guilty!
  13. Obviously a conspiracy against those using method balls instead of packbait... assuming that those are indeed different things... Are they? I'm sure this will all get fixed before Tom stops screaming at me...
  14. JD, I have the same problem... And I didn't change any of my settings.
  15. Thanks for the free swivels, Paul. You should have charged me for those...
  16. You guys are brave... Call me impressed.
  17. And another very sick fish... I was fishing with Domm, I played it, he netted it, and I remember that neither of us wanted to touch this fish! While the other fish we caught that day were splendidly healthy... Go figure.
  18. Quite a museum of horrors... Ok, let me add one in the "sad" category... I had a double take, and one of them was wrapped in a thick line and started to outgrow it... Wasn't pretty, I had a hard time freeing the fish from the line...
  19. Another one caught by a friend in Quebec... Her name is Melanie (the angler, I mean!). Funny thing is that Melanie's 'other half' caught an even uglier carp a few days later. Here is Daniel's catch...
  20. Let me add a few submissions... One caught by my elder son (he's much taller now!)
  21. Got it. MA 02476. Great concept, and very nice work from the publisher. Thank you!
  22. 16, 17 and 18 are pictures of Chris Chiodo, a really nice guy and excellent angler from MA, but I don't believe he's a CAG member nowadays.
  23. Well, this isn't quite clear cut in some of the categories - do vote, people!!
