What gives?

Aquaskinz is a sponsor, I'm a user, and BP is my fellow loud snorer, OK more accurately he's THE Loud Snorer and my CPAP Buddy

Seriously, you got a bit of flak on the Z thing because I can see how a lot of people would read your posts as schilling for Z Reels.

Any fishing product, whether from sponsor or non sponsor, is encouraged for good open and honest debate provided it does not get into a major FLAME war (that was way minor) and provided it is not intended to pull off free & abusive commercial promotion. So paying sponsors can because they are our sponsors and help keep the lights on. Commercial entities (non sponsors) are encouraged to come to S-B to participate in our community as MEMBERS of our community, but not to come here to get free advertising (if I ever hit Powerball and can retire, all funds will go to charities instead - until then they keep the lights on ).

We get spammed a lot here. Some people are so ingenious to think they can anonymously register and pitch a product as one of the good 'ole boys and generate free advertising. People here are very good at sniffing that out and are spamaware. It actually gets so bad to the point of being humorous. We've had people go so far, cough cough Marine Tropical, as to blame their teenage daughter for spamming S-B to avoid getting caught by the spamcops...

Oooops - ramble warning...
