Yumdrum,
Welcome to the board.
Nice first post. Most people come on and say Hi for their first post. You come on and tell us we all have a problem. What's more probable.... everyone here has a problem or...you haven't got a clue what you are talking about?
This is the most tolerant group of people I've seen on any fishing message board. No where does Patrick get to say what he wants more than he does here. However , forgive us if we decide not to swallow everything he posts.
People get to say almost anything they want here. If some chose to post outrageous stuff , they must remember that others may get outrageous in their replies. In many cases , the only reason some posts are made is to see how everyone will respond. It can be fun sometimes but it can also be a pain in the butt.
This is intended to be a forum for serious surf fisherman. We aren't going to allow a few people with too much time on their hands to turn it into a refugee camp for kids catching skipjacks in a marina parking lot. You can post whatever you want within the guidelines set down by the board rules. However , if you would post foolish stuff , be prepared for foolish replies.
Suppose someone comes to this site for the first time and reads all about "Fishing Patrick Style". If they are a serious fisherman , they won't come back. If they don't have a clue they may actually go down to the ocean and try some of "Patrick's Preachings". They won't catch fish and they might get hurt. We don't want either to happen.
So please just tolerate all us people with problems. Normal guys like you and Patrick can cheer eachother on and just ignore or work your way around what the rest of us have to say. Just as we must tolerate "Patrick's Ponderings" , you must tolerate our foolishness when we tell someone to stick an eel on a hook and cast it out into the darkness. We get to express our opinions too.
So welcome aboard yumdrum. Please use you brain for a second before you use the keyboard for post number 2.
