RIP, ROFB

I think there's an echo in here....

Btw, caught an 18" smalley near st. louis yesterday.
Streams running high but clear.
Not many nice days left.

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.

Just wondering
Bill

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.

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.

Bite me Ken. :}

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.

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.

Where did you go? I suppose it was a toothy critter :{


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

2 inches here and my battery was dead when I tried to leave for a fish
fry. I got it started though...Not much will keep me from the Friday
nite Walleye fry here in town.


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.

Ooh, ooh, I have a question. Why do people think this group is dead
when others don't post things for them to read?

My concern is...Do you know anything about fishing the Mighty
Mississippi at Alma?

Head hunter called today to ask if I would be interested in spending a
year or so there.

Yeah, yeah. I'm feeling chipper today. I had a kidney biopsy
on Monday and got the results back yesterday. Bottom line:
I've got *at least* one more fishing season in me, assuming
I don't get run over by a bus. ;-) I didn't get the best news
possible, but I sure didn't get the worst either. Yesterday
I was still a little bummed, but today I feel relieved enough
to have a little fun with my friends in ROFB.

And thank you for not top posting. ;-)

Driving home from work today I saw some guys fishing from the bank near 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!

Glad to hear you'll be around for a while.

Every day above ground is a good day!
