Excuse me_

[Bob Rickard]

Excuse me... I am always amazed at the perfectly ON-TOPIC postings I see on
newsgroups that are apologetically labeled as off-topic for reasons beyond
any common sense reason. For example, this group exists for pictures
concerning fishing, right? Well, Randy just posted pictures here of fishing
lures showing some color patterns he creates, but then says off-topic in his
subject line. Just what the hell is off topic about that, except fear of the
Spam freaks who preposterously accuse everything of being spam... screw
them! Randy's post was as on-topic as could be, & he need not apologize to
anyone for it.

Maybe I'm funny, but I like looking at "new" and custom lures as much as
I like looking a someone else's fish. Far from off topic, as we see
guy's boats, fishing spots, fishing partners, and sometimes fishing dogs :-)
Many have posted their flies and jigs they have made
I've seen fishing comics here, and poems, even signs at the water's
edge, if it's fishing and not 20 post at a time (don't send every photo
you took on the trip) It's on topic
Heck I wish people could post little videos on fishing here.

Speaking of lures,, I'm looking for "very" slim plastic worms, can't
find any, if someone finds any or makes any,, post the photo here.

Actually when people photo fish they have caught, post the photo of the
lure you caught it on, it sure beats a description as there are so many
bait color names, it's hard for me to picture that color in my head, and
everyone's chartuse is not all the same color.

Well Bob I have been around long enough to know better. Knowing that some
will call it spam, I'll label it OT just so thatb those who would like to
see the images are not caught up in any "spam/unethical BS" posts that it
might generate. That is never my intention. Unfortunately there are a few
people that would disagree. But I'm with you on this one,,,screw em :-)

Stay tuned...we are working on a trick worm and a 4 inch skinny drop shot
bait. Looking for something different then look at the slithers we have, 4
inchs long and can be made translucent to reflect everything around it in
the water

Your right about this one... is it green is it yellow. I have a new color
being developed and sent to me called Chartruse pumpkin. Not sure yet how it
will look when mixed into plastic, but I'll keep ya posted

No, but I did, however, see a picture of a lonely, weird guy all curled up
in a dog cage though a couple weeks back. Strange stuff! Can't remember
his name though....

If you're planning to sell any of it / them, best to go for broke and
put AD: instead of OT: in front of it. Although the best way for that
is to link to pics in your website and have the web link in your sig
file. You'd still have to mention anything new in a post, though, and
take the yapping.

yapping.
