As I read on, my amusement turned to mild annoyance. Instead of the usual good-natured ribbing and banter, I began to see outright attacks. ChiefLinsider wrote “he beat me out for a yellow bm danny months ago. also for some old rebel windcheaters.” Interesting. This indicates that ChiefLinesider was one of those who bid along with me for these plugs. Does that not put him in the same “spendthrift” category as I? I don’t recall how high he bid, but it would seem that if he was bidding he was interested in winning and we all know what it takes to do that – you have to be high bidder, obviously. However, since he did not win the plugs, and I did, he decided to denounce me. Why? Chief, if you really wanted the plugs that badly, you would have won them by outbidding me. That’s all fair and square; this is how this EBay thing works. I am sorry that you did not win the auction, but it is a free economy. Please do not knock me for my successes. I don’t know you but I am sure that you are an excellent fisherman based upon your desire to capture these great lures, so it is beneath you to resort to derogatory comments.

That was me with the comment on the bm danny and the rebel windcheaters. I was b%tching more about being repeatedly beat out by you and I'm guess guilty of joining the smear campaign as a result. I'm really just shocked at the amount I see your name on e-bay and the amount of auctions you win. You just apparently have the disease much more than most of us.
I just don't see 91 bucks for a BM Danny as a smart purchase regardless of your income.
I only read the beginning of your post. I apologize if my response doesn't address the rest of it.
Anyway, welcome to S-B.
