I have to apologize to all of you guys.

[Patrick]

John, this isn't to start a fight, I am truly trying to have an open apology here.

Allright, here it goes. I was over at one of the other boards I used to be able to post on, looking around. I noticed that the signature of one young guy's signature looked familiar. So I researched both of them. Doing some research, it turns out this guy was on the board before as someone else. He will remain nameless because that's not really an intrigal part of the story. Anyway, that's when I decided to look back on my OWN posts.

God, I really was a pain in the butt! I didn't realize it but I came off rather conceited and for that I am sorry. I don't know why I posted some of the stuff I did but I have to assume it's because I was young and stupid. I cannot believe some of the stuff I spouted off about in regards to fishing. God, my cheeks are still red from reading it. I am truly embarrassed by some of the crap that I said. I admit it. I was pretty much a big fraud then. I don't know what I am today, I don't believe I'm a fraud anymore but I didn't think I was then either.

Unfortunately, the other guy, who is only in like 7th grade or so, is following down the same path as I did.

So anything I did or said to offend you guys in the past, I am really sorry for. Please remember that kid messing around on SS.com was the old Patrick. I'm not asking you to forget all that stuff but I want you guys to know I'm sorry for any inconvienances I caused.
