I apologize in advance if my rant steps on anyone's toes, but I
sincerely believe that no offense was meant by the original poster.

Just to reiterate some of David's points, the Usenet newsgroup
rec.outdoors.fishing.bass is an unmoderated newsgroup. Anybody
anywhere can post whatever the hell they like to this Usenet
newsgroup and there's very little anyone can do about it. Like
all unmoderated Usenet newsgroups rofb is self-policing. Which
means anybody named "self" can be the police. Your"self", my"self",
anybody. Ultimately the newsgroup will reflect the intentions of
the regular posters.

Now I don't know who sent emails to family-outdoors, it wasn't me,
but like David I believe no offense was intended. However, the
posts of family-outdoors to this forum are what I would consider
to be Usenet SPAM.

And I never apologize for my rants.
