Ok,
I have a couple comments that someone just needs to say regrding this thread.
If you are reading this thread you should go back to the main page and read the thread about the new site raffle. I read english and the thread lets us all know that the till that keeps this site running is low. With this in mind, lets look at a few angles on this thread.
The thread starts out with a passive agressive advertisement for Cowhunter's new charter business. It would be ok if this was a client reporting on a trip, but this is a celebrity endorsement complete with manufactured professional photos. I also need to note that Kenny did not post this blatant SPAM. In today's economy with the pricing of inshore fishing charters going off the hook due to fuel, dockage, etc, the charter business is getting even more competative than in the past. My point is that this site has paid sponsors that actually PAY to advertise on this site. This thread has put John R in an impossible position. I do not think it is ok for this thread to remain as it is free advertising like this that if paid for would not have John needing to do site raffles to keep the lights on. Once
again I hope that Kenny Cowhunter becomes a Sponsor as all reports say that he is an S-B kind of guy.
One more arguement for pulling this thread. I would like to know if FishEye is a PAID Sponsor of this site. For Two years I have watched this site used to build and build up the expectation on the new DVD. No doubt the quality will be what we are all used to seeing from the master. Mike Laptew is the best videographer in the business, period. However Business is business and if Fish Eye is is not a paid sponsor than this thread must come down.
I post this as I can not fathom the idea that John would have to come out of pocket for site costs with the thousands of dollars crossing these boards on a regular.
Un Paid sponsors need to ante up and kick in.
