Patrick......since I know you are reading......
first of all we have all in the past tried to be nice and helpful....whether it was personal or fishing (you always managed to take it as "bashing" no matter how we put it....)
and secondly....these emails you seem to be sending are just plain old UNCALLED FOR!!! I could maybe see you upset if you were kicked off one board....but you have been kicked off how many now???? when will you realize that you ARE at fault!!??????
at last but not least..... this winter I had the honor of fishing with and meeting GS in person. He is an able fisherman, a fun person with a good sense of humor, and very hospitable!!!!!! I was surprised that he took the time (and patience

) to teach me a few things!!!!
I have since met him a few more times since then. I have yet to see someone who didnt like him. If you think that we wont stand behind him or that we will change our minds about him because of what YOU say.......think again!!!!!!
I realize I have probably put myself in you email club now.....I just hope you are mature enough not too.
