Mac I don't think thats the problem. I think theres a bit of a double standard going on.
I've read other threads where members with seniority talk up a particular product and/or trash another and it doesn't even raise an eyebrow. Shimano over Daiwa,Shimano over VS, Convench over spinning etc. Other guys have reels or boats as an avitar and its seen as pride and or loyalty. When he does it he's a snake oil salesman.
David is a new member who's happens to be excited over a new product that also happens to be very pricey. Here lies the the issue.
Go back and read his posts from the very beginning. Some may be rough around the edges but most are genuine, helpful and discussion oriented.
Its a discussion board. He's not trying to sell anything. Just psyched on a reel that works for the way he fishes. Too bad because hes a great guy with a lot to offer and a hard core surf guy for sure.
