That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard of Ken....

Outlook Express defaults to the top of the message, so that's why I top
post.

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.

I know what you mean Joe... I passed too many trucks with boats attached
this morning. I tried not to look too pitiful.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Nah, it's the top-posting. Intelligent denizens of Usenet newsgroups
never top-post and most are put off by having to put up with it.
You won't have a vital, active, busy newsgroup so long as you have a
high percentage of top-posting.

I was a welcome poster here until my knowledge of certain
areas of fishing allowed me to go professional, at which time my

I didn't know you were unwelcome here or a persona non grata. Are
you sure it doesn't have something to do with being a rabid tool
of the radical right ?

How about that Nancy Pelosi, Bob !! Just what we need in Washington,
a tough-minded granny wielding a big-assed Democratic whooping stick !
Woohoo !!

Well, to tell you the truth Bob, this particular post of yours wasn't

out of my canoe any day. Just say when and I'll be there.

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.

Golly Mr. Bill, or can I call you Calif, I guess I have
no choice but to take that as a compliment. Thank you.
