Rick, I do owe you an appology! I guess you don't need me to explain about being a little "trigger happy". I do seem to have taken that one every way but the right one. Sean, Message understood and noted.

Sure Chris, When the "meant to be funny but also a bit insulting" comments are thrown your way rather than vice-versa. That's the shoe on the other foot. Karl, I do try mate...I do try!

Oh gee, is the big, bad mod picking on those poor innocent fellows again? Let's break it down so nobody misses it shall we? Pat, I'm with you and dang...wouldn't ya know it...I'm a Mod. A reply to Pat's post with some added commentary to assure him that some of us involved in this discussion he has no part in are of the same mind as he. A reply to a friend and, if anything, a counter to Brian's post...I didn't get any PMs from Brian over it so I'm pretty sure he didn't mind. Chris, when you post something worth paying attention to, the mods will respond...until then rant away! OK, here we have what is commonly known as a joke; note the cute little guy with his tongue out. What's the matter guys? You've been riding Pat ever since he left the mod position about this "the mods don't reply to my questions" thing. Funny how you don't seem to like it when the shoes finds it's way to the other foot. Let he who is without sin... You want information flow from the commercial interests...join their email list, if they ain't got one, suggest it! A response to a comment made in this debate about information flow from commercial sites. I see it as not only relevant but an excellent counter to the issue. You guys should go into the green bait buisness. You certainly have an overwhelming amount of raw material. Not a joke, a very tactfully put opinion of the value of your opinion in my opinion. (this one is a joke...note that little guy again) Keith, thank you for cooperating and removing the pricing. I personally have no problem with your questioning the rules so long as you show you're willingness to cooperate as you did. Just wanted you to know it was appreciated. An honest thank you to Keith for handling the initial problem in a reasonable manner. Thought he deserved one for a change, especially after I fried his butt good by personal email over another matter just recently. So All I can conclude from the responses is: Mods are not allowed to make jokes Mods are not allowed to support their friends Mods are not allowed to have an opinion Mods are not allowed to participate in forum discussion Mods may not post as anglers/people...they are always mods Mods must continually kiss your butt to have your respect Now Rick please, show me where anything I put in my post classified as "moderation"? Did I change anything? Did I trod on anyone's freedom of speech? I have an idea! From now on when I'm posting in my "official moderator" capacity I will post everything in big red print so there's no confusion...how 'bout that? If it's just Todd the dumba$$ hilbilly carp angler talking I'll just type in little black letters...nobody wants to hear from him much anyway. Who is trying to kill free speech the moderator that made this post above or the individual that sent me the email threatening to cause chaos on the boards with his advanced computer talents if I should continue to openly voice my opinions??? I won't do as we've seen some do and post this email but I still have it...makes for a good laugh.

No problem mate. I think it's got a dead yellow jacket floating in it from last time I had it out. Wonder if I can get that bad boy to stay on a hair??

Model glue? That sounds like that "Chjop-chjop" (sp) (pronounced chop-chop) flavor maybe? That is some odd smelling stuff! Still got some of that one somewhere...never had much luck with it.

Pat, I'm with you and dang...wouldn't ya know it...I'm a Mod. Chris, when you post something worth paying attention to, the mods will respond...until then rant away!

Shoot, I must be an employee too! Every time I get near WB&T the money just levitates right out of my pockets!

UH...hmmm...I guess you haven't seen my youngest since Claytor last fall huh? And just think, he's almost nine. He gets mad 'cause his brother's 3 inches taller...doesn't help to remind him that his brother is 3 years older than he is.

Yeah, I saw those prices. Fortunately not too far south the price drops a good bit. Just leave home with about a quarter-tank and you'll be OK from there.

You and Tommy need to spend a couple months down here in Roanoke with me Phil. You'll never "bulk up" at the prices you guys pay for food.

Shoot Tommy, that fish only looks so big 'cause you're a runt!

How about an article from one of you officianados of the centerpin for the NACA? Me, drop hints...nah!
