God forbid you asked a question as the old timers would run you out of the place. better yet, they would give you the wrong answer and then watch you make a damn fool of yourself.

I don't have a problem with questions, just stupid questions. if someone wants to know how to tie a dropper loop, fine, that's a tough knot to tie correctly and not something you will find easily.

When they start asking what rod to buy and what reel to put on it, I respectfully submit that they should do some research on their own. Those questions have been answered 100 time.

Yes, the Board is hear to share knowledge but there is also a line where the majority of the population is not being served by the questions asked by a few. Just my opinion.
Be carefull, I just got hung for saying the same thing basically! However, good post paul
