it doesnt matter to me, but it raises the question of what is "sensitive"? Who decides it? You just dont want to over-engineer things so that you try to make everyone happy. it will never happen

I think those guys decided it by never talking about it. Your right you will never make everyone happy, Its just my opinion and nothing more, I cant stop the next guy from talking about whatever they want....this is just something I would not talk about...

For me some of them would never talk to me agin if I betrayed there trust with certain things, I am not about to lose friendships over it. To most here it may well be "no big deal" but to those guys who make a living on the water it is a big deal.

I agree. IMO nothing's broken, nothing needs to be fixed. People who lurk will join just to see it, and if you impose a minimum number of posts to see it, all that will do is generate a bunch of "me too" posts. Some guy will just post one or two word replies, like "throw eels" or "Atom 40" or stuff like that, without really contributing much.

Any subject is likely to ruffle some feathers. No matter how hard you try, you will never please everyone. Someone will always have an issue with any subject.

Besides, there's no instant magic bullet--whether it's yo-yoing or anything else. There's always a learning curve involved.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
