It's the top-posting.

The convention in those Usenet newsgroups that are active, vital
and full of activity is the Usenet standard of putting the reply
below the text you're replying to, like I'm doing here.

Too many people in this newsgroup are top-posters and that'll
kill a newsgroup faster than a 6-4-3 kills a big inning.

Well, it has been quiet, and I do wish I had something to post but that's
just not to be. My son and I went out fishing on Monday, unfortunately, I
missed the only fish that decided to bite.

Now, there's 8 inches of freshly fallen snow, so my year might just be done.

But, if you have a question or concern, I can certainly give my opinion on
that. I just don't have any fresh experiences to discuss.

I don't understand the problem with top posting.
Several groups I use quite a lot for business all top post,
and I prefer it. If there's a stack of conversation on a message, a reader
doesn't need to scroll down to see a bottom post, and if you are reading a
number of postings in a thread, you don't need to
scroll down past the same stuff over and over.

bass-ackwards.
as should be evident by this post top-posting is
that has gone by the wayside here in ROFB. Besides,
in context, but alas that's another Usenet convention
to include only the text necessary to put the reply
saves. It would help if people would trim their posts
see what on earth the poster is referring to than it
the case top-posting causes more scrolling down to
a thread, but on a Usenet newsgroup where that's not
list is assumed to have read every previous email in
Top-posting is OK for email when everyone on the email

Top-posting has killed this newsgroup. If not for top-posting
all members of the professional bass tour would not only post
here daily with tips and anecdotes about the pro tour, they
would also give away marketing freebies like rods, reels,
trolling motors, outboards and big honkin' red metal flake
bass boats. But people like you insist on top-posting.

Don't blame me.

Bill,
Actually bottom posting must be accompanied with the proper snipping
of verbiage that is un-necessary. Just quoting, snipping and the main
topic along bottom posting is the best way to keep everyone
understanding who said what.

I have been known to top post in this group when it is short and to
the point.

Beautiful weather today, forecast hevy rains tomorrow with high seas.
Opening day of crab season, and boat is staying in the storage yard. Did
finish pruning the trees yesterday and dump run today. So probably crabbing
next week and if bad seas, maybe a trip to the Sac Delta for some bass
fishing. Both stripers and LMB.

Let's finally be honest... what is killing this newsgroup is those who keep
telling posters all the things they cannot do & all the thing they consider
to be off topic. I was a welcome poster here until my knowledge of certain
areas of fishing allowed me to go professional, at which time my
contributions became persona non grata to some. That is stupid!

This group can again be great, but posters will have to just quit being
gutless wimps, and instead post what they want regardless of who it might
offend. Unfortunately, this group today is as totally useless as the United
Nations!

You are a prime example of a horse ass. Bottom posting was the thing with
KSR33's. But that time has passed. Same with VT52's and DEC Vax 780, and
it's forerunners. You could not easily move around the screen and since a
KSR was a paper I/O there was not backing up.

my house and some more guys loading their boat on the trailer.
What really sucks is when it is almost 80 degrees in November and you
can't go fishing. That's my on topic post for this week. :)

Here's a solution to the lack of activity. Say something stoopid about
the Boomerang Fishing thinggy. That'll get things moving!

You are a prime example of a horse ass. Bottom posting was the thing with
KSR33's. But that time has passed. Same with VT52's and DEC Vax 780, and
it's forerunners. You could not easily move around the screen and since a
KSR was a paper I/O there was not backing up.

What do you suggest Ken?

I suggest that catching a 4 lb. fish on 6 lb. test
usually ain't all that much of a challenge.

Now, catching a 15 lb. fish on 6 lb. test *that's*
a challenge.

Of course I'm hoping for bigger fish, a mouth ago I caught a 6 lb 3 Oz
LM on that rig

I've caught a 22 lb fish on 4 lb test That one was a flat head cat
caught on a single cricket while bream fishing, 1 hour and 43 min. fight

I've also caught a 12 lb hybrid strip (twice the fight of a bass) on 4
lb test. 48 min fight.

I know what fighting good fish on light tackle is all about, it's just
more fun than my favorite bait caster loaded with 14 lb sufix catching 4
lb and under fish

I have seen 6 lb and under bass break 10 lb line more than once when
people tried to horse them in.

I keep the drag on my 2500 (filled with 6 Lb) set at 2 lbs, I could be
using 4 Lb test and I would not know the difference in the battle,
between it and 6 lb, with that drag setting, plus with that St Croix 9
1/2 foot steel head rod it's a blast to catch those 4 lb fish, but with
that rig I could land a 10 lb or better fish, it would just take a
while, and there just can't be any snags anywhere close by.
