Leave it to you, Mike, to throw a wet towel on everything. You're my favorite pessimist. Fact-of-the-matter is, about 20% of the members are "regular" contributors. The rest pop in-and-out infrequently. About 1% are banned spammers.

You threatened somebody with violence. THAT is against our policies here, and is inappropriate. I won't tolerate threats. I'm really surprised you feel you did nothing wrong. That's alarming. I don't buy into the victim role, so don't play one here. You'll gain much more respect around here by owning up to your actions. I also will not debate forum policies. This is not a democracy. I''ve made my point. and you've had your say. So let's move on.

Secretlakes - I am the owner of this site, and have been for over 12 years. You are new here, so I'll cut you a little slack. Clearly you are not familiar with our culture here. Reading the FAQ's will go a very long way in helping you understand what we're about. But in a nutshell: I expect everyone to treat each other with respect. No excuses. As RW said, if you have an issue with that, then this isn't the place for you. Some people enjoy sites where flame wars, insults, arguments, and personal attacks abound. If that person is you, then there's plenty of other sites out there that offer that environment. This is a heavily moderated site, so that type of behavior is not allowed. But if you behave, you won't even notice us. Glenn

I kill mastadons and sell the leather to Redline Robert.

The audio was horrible. Aside from the dramatic audio fluctuations, you didn't hear the crowd noise like you do on other broadcasts. (except when they cheered) Also, there weren't a lot of graphics, no fancy intros or breaks to commercials, and the announcers were bland. Pretty much plain bread and butter broadcasting.

Great pics! Glad to have you back. I thought the Snake had smallies, no? Maybe that's because I've only fished the Washington part.

Geez Chris, finally got around to blowing the dust off the 'ol keyboard eh? Good to have you back buddy!

Did any of you notice that Ranger Boats redesigned their site? Check it out at http://www.rangerboats.com. What do you think?

http://Windowsupdate.microsoft.com is your friend.

Ya, I noticed the too. Google serve these ads, so I don't know what's going to appear until it does. That said, the diet ads are appearing far too often because they are violating Google's policies. Google has been notified of the problem. Simultaneously, I'm working on blocking them 1-by-1. Time consuming, yes. But I feel these ads "cheapen" the site, so I don't want them here (even though they're paying rather well). Hope to have the issue resolved within a day or two.

I've seen variations of this. One of which says something about "your order" with the "receipt attached". Click on it, and you're nailed. The clue? The attached file is a zip file (somename.zip). Never, EVER, click on a zip file unless you asked for it!! I don't care how compelling the e-mail is, DON'T CLICK ON IT!

Thank you Keith, Ronnie, Kent, and Gary for making this happen. You guys ROCK! And most of all, THANK YOU MSG_AL and Brian Reeves for your service and sacrifices. Words cannot describe how much we appreciate what you do. Enjoy the rods!

Ok, so this dates me, but yes, I do remember the days before cable existed.... we did indeed have a black & white tv, and...AND... we had to GET UP and TURN THE KNOB to change the channel!! (the horrors!) Oh, OH... and THEN you'd have to adjust the RABBIT EARS in order to get a semi-decent picture! You had to do this each time you changed the channel! When cable first came out, it basically eliminated the need to fiddle with the rabbit ears. Then Showtime & HBO appeared and that was *cough* AWESOME! : Oh my, the ability to watch uncut movies without commercial interruption - WILD! ;D So basically, cable TV meant you could watch movies from home, and that was really cool! ;D Oh, and then came Turner Broadcasting Network.... watching a station from a different part of the country - what a concept. Too bad the station sucked, but it did give birth to CNN (24 hr news?! What's THAT?!?). I can remember in high school all the hype about this new music channel on cable TV. It was supposed to be a BIG THING, but all we saw were basically concert footage, or videos of bands just standing there lipsynching to their songs (and the sync was WAY off!). We were not impressed. That new channel? MTV. Keep in mind, the Internet wasn't available to the public yet! Only 7 channes of HBO... pfffft! ;D

Fished Clarks Hill myself once or twice. : Welcome Home!

Berkley Gulp? Nope. It's designed to dissolve. But other plastics? Yes, it happens on occasion. http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/skinny-fish.html

That's answered in the FAQ.

Welcome home Scotti!

Yeah...it's crazy! I think West Virginia has one of the highest gas taxes in the country - it's like 40 cents or something. California has the highest tax at 67 cents. West Virginia is at 41 cents. My state is the 6th highest at 56 cents. Alaska has the lowest - 18 cents. The average is 48 cents. Source: http://www.api.org/statistics/fueltaxes/upload/2008_159_GAS_MAP_OCT2008.pdf

Well look who came out of the woodwork! Welcome back Lisa! Didn't see you at Clarks Hill, otherwise I would've said hi.
