BasicPatrick,
I’m sorry you feel the way you do about the post. The intention was to give a fishing report on our recent trip to the Race while taking a tongue-in-cheek poke at some of the over reactions to spot burning…MHO.
As far as your comments on spamming and not being a supporter of the site…I think it might have been better if you talked with John before you questioned my lack of sponsoring or supporting the site.
In the past I’ve done two full-length shows for the fund raising efforts of this site. I might only have 591 posts on this site but I think if you do a search you’ll find that I’ve always salted most of them with images. I’ve spent considerable time working on those images in Photoshop and then sizing them and then even promoting them as free screensavers. My goal has always been to try to keep people entertained and informed. I’m in the business of selling images (7 pictures in the October issue of Salt Water Sportsman, four pages of images in the March issue of Field and Stream, etc.) but I’ve always been happy to share my work with the S-B community.
There’s been a fair amount of interest in my DVD because a lot of folks from this site have been privy to seeing rough cuts at fundraisers and blueberry socials. Check out this thread and you’ll see I never instigated a promo for the video.
My time spent providing photo essays of Cuttyhunk, with where to fish info, is not exactly an example of taking form the site; I thought it was an example of contributing something to it. Anyone that’s talked to me at any of the shows should attest to the fact that my number one goal is the sharing of information. Patrick if you have a problem with the thread by all means have it taken down.
Mike
