I am sorry to those of you on this fine board that thought I was spamming your site up, as it was not my intention. I was unfamiliar with MO here, as I don't really find any easily accessible place on the site on rules and regulations here in regards to posts. I was previously unaware that my posts were taboo. The two threads I chimed on were not started by me either time, I simply felt it necessary to retort to some serious misinformation being brought up and as a result did my thing. It unfortunately degenerated both times to name calling and rants/raves which I tried to avoid at all costs, and only identified myself as the distributor after being called out by another member. I felt it necessary to be truthful and forthcoming, and in no way did I try to use this as a marketing medium; I will refrain from posting anything further on any affiliations I may have. I am in no way connected to any of the baitshops mentioned earlier, I was simply replying to Moses' last post asking to be updated, and am simply a wholesale guy in regards to the aforementioned baits, I do not sell to any of you, the end users.

If I may add one last opinion, I find it sort of exclusionary in more ways than one that representatives of fishing related products are not allowed to chime in to add their views and opinions or facts when their products are brought up by other members of the site, especially when they are attacked or put in a negative spin. If I were a sponsor giving money to your site it would be different, which seems ironic to me as you allow ads and posts by them but not well intentioned posts by non sponsors. As a side note I sent PM message to John R asking what the rules were to posting as a captain/fishing business(the very first day I joined), and was never informed or replied to, sort of in my defense.

Again, I in no way meant to offend anyone or cause problems, and hope that my opinions and views are appreciated for their honesty and good intentions, or if not at the very least tolerated on this open, free, and public fishing-chat site.
