RE:Poor JohnR/ Can you imagine?A brother in law Like me???

Bill, you are helluva fisherman and like I said, striper contest from the surf, my big money goes on you. Having said that, sometimes your attitude sucks. I know that much of this is in fun and how it tends to get nasty at the end of every other month but people can't often tell if you are having fun or busting stones. You do show disrespect for other people when they don't do things your way or if they question your abilities. That's uncool. You may be the current king when it comes to landing the big two-handed bass but you're people skills tend to suck at times. My first born will be regaled with stories of the legendary Bill Nolan but damn if I'll let him fish with you until he's old enough to know that its not OK to quit elementary school to chase world record bass at the old age of nine <img src="/Images/Tounge_Wink_Face.gif"><!--e5-->. For the record, that was a friendly tweak. You are a phenominal surfcaster but sometimes your people skills come up short. Those skills are what pays the bills, deals in an emergency, and burries a friend or family member. Not the largest striper caught last week or last year.

Now this is not a business in the sense that I can stay home and work on the site all day (explains why I have not rotated out some of the junk and updated as often as I'd like). If I cover the expenses of putting this out and make a little extra, that's OK. I'm not doing this too get rich quick. It won't happen like that. We never left Kanasas, Totto. You have so much potential to contribute here and I would like you to be involved more with some repsonsibility and the rewards that come from it but sometimes whether the words don't come out right or you just go out of your way to tweak people or whatever, you have the potenital to become counterproductive. You are too good to striper fishing to be jettisoned at every turn, even though that seems to be your goal at times. And I know that you can be a good guy. I've seen it.

But the sun will always rise tomorrow and I'll still be Alisson's godfather and I'll still respect your fishing abilities but this place will not become the Bill Nolan show. Last time I checked, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&.com was still available (I told you to get it!!) so you can start you own site if you'd like, I'll even offer my assistance <img src="/Images/Tounge_Wink_Face.gif"><!--e5-->... In a line from STRIPES, Lighten up Francis!!! Relax kid. Don't get yourself all worked up.
I can't wait until my goddaughter is in school so you can work for The Fisherman or something. Bill Nolan, roving reporter from the Rhody Surf or something like that...

OK? Got you rise out of me yet???
