Ok... but by NO means was I making any statement for SW. My opinions are
mine alone and are totally separate from anyone else.
But, look at the way RL comes in here. He knows that we have him kill-filed
so he changes his address in order to pass through our filters. We are doing
what we can to avoid him...
Secondly, he only comes in here to boast or brag about his accomplishments.
Never once do I recall an actual thread of his that has not lead to a
discussion of how he has revolutionized fishing and that his way is the only
way. Everyone else is stupid for not following his lead. That's what ticks
me off... I know I should learn to ignore it. I have in the past, and even
kill-filed him to maintain myself.
I'm sure that everyone here, AL included, has made some great
accomplishments too, but choose to keep them to themselves.
Merry Christmas to everyone, even RL. Let's try to end this thing here and
find some other way to deal with this Cabin Fever. Did you get any of the
ice and snow down there Ronnie? It's cold here... and isn't expected to
improve anytime soon.
Cold there? BWAAAAhahahahaha. It was 24 degrees below 0 here Friday
morning. Cold there? Come on, tell the truth. Cold is when you have
ice cubes in your drink right? :}

Actually other than fishing with Joe once I have no real affiliation with
SWL. The contest from my view point is to promote my website. Of course
if
it benefits Joe and Bob and the rest of the SWL crew and we mutually
benefit
that doesn't bother me in the least. I have two other manufacturers that
have inquired about doing some kind of contest on the forums. I don't
directly sell SWL lures, and if somebody asks I either direct them
locally
to Sportsman's Hide-A-Way or on-line to SWL's website
I have no problem with your post although, as you say, you do benefit from
the
contest as does Secret Weapon. I have never complained about commercial
posts
here - as long as they are about fishing stuff I dont mind it.
I have been running a trivia contest on my site for several years and get
a lot
of free stuff to give away. Don't think I have ever mentioned it or the
stuff
sent to me for free until now, but my memory ain't that good.
I think it is ridiculous to jump on commercial post here when some may
help
you out. If you don't like the post, go on to the next one, don't try to
stir
up the stink. I sometimes get caught up in some of the silly post here
but do
my best to ignore them.
