I'd like to see the forum more appealing to new plug builders. I'd like them not to be intimidated and feel welcome. Many first time plug makers found this site and did very well on their own doing searches and finding most of their answers on their own, but when they do have questions, it would be nice that they can feel comfortable asking. There are many how to's on here which is great. There also is a trend for some to go from novice to pro in a short time, I find that to be a bit

laughable as it is tough to produce a proven plug in a short amount of time, they should be tested,tweaked and catch fish for atleast a full season before being sold IMO. Nothing wrong with selling a plug or 6 here and there to offset some costs, ya can't get rich doing this but it's the serious builders that sell large amounts that should post their wares in the sponsors forums, that is what they are for. sorry I wandered off subject.

Lu has a good point

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
