Hi John,

Sorry about this whole post.... I regret even sharing it...I guess I should of just put up some pics of my latest inventions and not said a word about selling them... I honestly really had no intention of getting business or advertising on these boards, as far as boasting about it, I was just so excited that I came up with something that works awesome that I built myself and that people in our area really liked it....I was looking for some feed back about the rigs themself, how they here made ect.. I didnt mean to drop the company name like it sounded either... I don't have a website or anything so I didnt think it was advertising... My name is Heather and H Bomb is my nickname .. sorry about that, thats where the whole name came about...

Hope to get off on a better foot next time

And just to be a smartass, I hope we do get to talk about it down the road

  1. Hey, got this great widget that crushes fish but I'm not selling them here
  2. They're a killer, people can't keep their hands off
  3. A picture showing said killer widget
  4. Company & product name stealthily (sometimes) inserted into commentary.
  5. Materials description
  6. Other hyping
  7. Disclaimers
It almost always starts the same way. For those that have been watching it as long as I and some others here have, this looked formulaic.

Only thing missing was having another recent new user (often from the same computer ) jumping on the thread and miraculously sounding like the other half of a Billy Mays pitch (may he rest in peace) - Key item of the Predator Lures Effect

So, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that, as you state, this is not a trolling for commercial benefit. I would like you to hang out and have some fun participating in our little community here. Please refrain from pushing your commercial wares at this time. Instead, hang out, have a virtual beverage, chat with the locals. If this is the best thing since sliced bread, we'll talk down the road about it.

thanks - John
