Merry Christmas from Bob, Charles, Joe, and all the folks at Secret Weapon
Lures. Maybe we can help make the waning days of this season a little
merrier, and brighten up your new year as well.

From the ranks of ROFB came our first field testers, prostaffers, and
customers. A number of you have promoted us with your fishing buddies and
your local tackle shop dealers, and we really appreciate it. To give
something back, we've sponsored several events ROFB Classics and host its
Web site as well. Now, we'd like to do something for individual members.

Through December 2, we're offering VIP pricing, normally for prostaffers
only, to ROFB members. To take us up on this offer, go to
http://secretweaponlures.com, and click the "ProStaff" button under "Login"

I normally would keep quiet here, but if you bother to look, you will see
that these prices are BELOW OUR COST! Secret Weapon makes less than zero
here! Is losing money to a very limited group of people what "Spamming"
means?

Yes, that did take some nerve on Joe's part to lose some money as a special
Christmas thanks to some very special friends, those of you at ROFB, but he
is truly a class guy. To blindly strike out with stupid accusations like you
both did took no class at all. Enough said.

Merry Christmas anyway.

And the Joy of the Season and Happy Holidays to you and yours Bob.

But it *is* SPAM. Even if you were giving them away and paying the
shipping it would be SPAM.

How many times must it be explained here ? This place, this ROFB,
has value because it's a trusted source of non-commercial and
unbiased information. If people start advertising here, even the
"good guys", this place is diminished. Think of the glossy free
mags that are given away at bait shops. You know, the ones where
the vendor that buys the fanciest full-page ad gets the glowing
gear reviews. That's what ROFB will be if SPAM becomes the norm.

I may, as you say, have no class, but I will be more than happy
to toss your old butt out of my canoe come springtime. ;-)

And thanks for the email Joe, you know where I'm coming from.

I am sure some will get their panties in a wad saying this is spam, but ignore
them.

Weird, the first post here tonight when I logged in was "HOW TO TURN £3 INTO
£10,000 USING PAYPA" - wonder if the same folks that get so upset about spam
will respond to this one, too.

I will post this one last time - if you don't like a post, ignore it. Don't
feed the trolls and don't try to stir up folks here just to see what they will
say.

We appreciate that, Chris.... and we're happy to be associated with the
folks in this group.

I'm looking forward to fishing with you, again, when you come down for the
Mid-Tenn Classic on Center Hill in April. I promise, if I'm on the trolling
motor at the time you hook a six-pounder, I will be quicker getting you over
to it.

Chris didn't mention it here, but in the last hour or so of the Okeechobee
Classic last year, a huge bass hammered his spinnerbait as it came across a
hole in the grass. The bass tangled him up in a clump of weeds, and I slowly
steered a zig-zag course over to it, trying to keep on eye on the bass, one
on the trolling motor arrow, and one on the grass to pick out a way through
the slop. Unfortunately, I ran out of eyes, and Chris ran out of time. The
bass came unhooked just out of arm's reach. After such a strong showing the
first day of the tournament, that one bass the second day would have assured
him of first place, I thought.

It just proves how gracious Chris is, that I didn't have to wade and swim
back to Okie-Tantie for the weigh-in.

Chris, I hope you can bring some of your buddies back down with you. Yuell
and the ladies at Hurricane are excellent hosts and cooks, and the fishing
on The Hill seems to have improved over two years ago, too.

We'll check the coding on that 2-blade lure page. The others seem to display
properly now..... I think we should be able to fix it up. All the other
pages, including the mini-kit, should be working correctly.

Thanks for the heads up, Marty.

Support of ROFB ? That's nonsense. Every single person on earth
who pays a subscription fee to an ISP which runs an NNTP server
supports ROFB.

My ISP filters all that junk from the newsgroup. I would never

Why don't you follow your own advice ?

There is a way to advertise here, by the way. If Joe had posted
a nice spinnerbait story like the one about him & Chris on
Okeechobee and then included the advertisement in a 4 line or
less .sig, something like:

ROFB only special on Secret Weapon Lures email me for details

nobody would have cause for complaint. As it is, I do have cause
for a SPAM complaint and I have made it.

But you have to remember who sponsor's the ROFB website, they should be
given special consideration..


Because someone _volunteers_ to do something does not entitle them to
something else as consideration. This is why the word is "volunteer".

If it were not for Secret Weapon's history of spam, I might not mention
anything. But truth is, they/he harvested email addresses from ROFB in the
past and sent _email spam_ to many of the people here.

How would you feel if someone just came into the groud and started selling
their ebay items here? Why is SW's post any different?

While I think the price of SW lures was too high to start and the
"reduction" in price brings it inline with other lures (my personal
opinion... I just cannot afford expensive/nice/high quality lures), I did
see it as someone posting of a reduction in the price of fishing lures. That
would be a good thing. I think the post falls into a grey area.

Just my 2 cents.

(I thought Ken's comment about sig's was funny... but true :)

I have never received email spam from SW or anyone else from here for
that matter ???
I have order from them in the past and I still have not recieved any emails
from them unless I just ordered and recieved a conformatiom from them
Maybe you're just unlucky :)

Nope.. email addresses were harvested and spam sent. Google.com can confirm
this.

Seens like the only one getting their panties in a bunch is you. I throught

EVERYONE here should be concerned about the SPAMming of ROFB.
You thought it was a nice gesture and I'm sure it was intended
that way, but it was SPAM. I don't want this to be personal,
especially with Bob Rickard who is one of the truly good guys
on the face of this planet. My take on this particular SPAMming
incident is "Hate the SPAM, but love the SPAMmer."

As for dealing with it, that's just exactly what I'm doing.

Enjoy the rest of the Holidays
Chris S.


You too, Chris. The joys of the season and a Happy New Year to
you and yours.

It was done in the past. A few people spoke up, and Joe apologised. In
fact my own complaint about it started my friendship with Joe.

My problem is, that spell checker doesn't recognize half the words I put
together...and if I can't spell it, how in the heck do I look it up in
the dictionary. I had the misfortune...or fortune, of sitting behind
this cute little blonde in English class...I missed that year all
together! :)

I read somewhere one time that we are exposed to hundreds of
"commercials" every day..radio, tv, internet, signs, etc. Some are done
with class, some are not...but, it is the way in a free market society.
I don't have any problem with them, and certainly didn't have a problem
with SWL's post here....but I don't have many problems with much of
anything now days. grin

Thanks for the offer Joe!

That's my fault... but I think Joe has corrected this for me now.

That's why my title is Jr. Exec. Goof-Off

Through December 2, we're offering VIP pricing, normally for prostaffers
only, to ROFB members. To take us up on this offer, go to
http://secretweaponlures.com, and click the "ProStaff" button under

"Login"
in the top menu.


I assume that "through" date is Jan. 2.

Now, I'm a computer dummy. I clicked the "ProStaff" button, did the

logging
in, then clicked "Online store" and saw no pictures or prices, only a

bunch
of "Select model" and "Add to cart" stuff on the right.
