SSX - Back when I started this board, all I wanted a decent sized board primarily for Surfcasters of New England and those that want to surfcast in New England with a equal doses of fun, civility & openess... I wound up making a bunch of friends and learned to respect a lot of people.

Fortunately we've also found a few people from beyond New England that are pretty cool too and we don't hold their Jersey residency against them :doh: :fishslap: ... Actually even given me new consideration to the Joisey boys & gals as the only ones I'd really met with any regularity before were the line crossers out at Wasque and the few I knew in high school .

This board was never started to make a million or be my income, which it has done niether. It was started to foster a good home to us up here in the Northeast when the other big board alot of us came from was in it's death throes, (WMI) .

My post was directed at anyone who thinks some other boards dirty laundry should be aired on this site, because it shouldn't....as I said that should be the end of that discussion.

This board rules, it survives on it's own and for it's own merits and I hope it continues to embody John's vision when he started it. If for no other reason than what Boo said, John's a big boy:) and he owns the clubhouse.
