But you have to remember who sponsor's the ROFB website, they should be
given special consideration..

Because someone _volunteers_ to do something does not entitle them to
something else as consideration. This is why the word is "volunteer".

If it were not for Secret Weapon's history of spam, I might not mention
anything. But truth is, they/he harvested email addresses from ROFB in the
past and sent _email spam_ to many of the people here.

How would you feel if someone just came into the groud and started selling
their ebay items here? Why is SW's post any different?

While I think the price of SW lures was too high to start and the
"reduction" in price brings it inline with other lures (my personal
opinion... I just cannot afford expensive/nice/high quality lures), I did
see it as someone posting of a reduction in the price of fishing lures. That
would be a good thing. I think the post falls into a grey area.

Just my 2 cents.

(I thought Ken's comment about sig's was funny... but true :)

I have never received email spam from SW or anyone else from here for
that matter ???
I have order from them in the past and I still have not recieved any emails
from them unless I just ordered and recieved a conformatiom from them
Maybe you're just unlucky

Nope.. email addresses were harvested and spam sent. Google.com can confirm
this.

It was done in the past. A few people spoke up, and Joe apologised. In
fact my own complaint about it started my friendship with Joe.

I normally would keep quiet here, but if you bother to look, you will see
that these prices are BELOW OUR COST! Secret Weapon makes less than zero
here! Is losing money to a very limited group of people what "Spamming"
means?

Yes, that did take some nerve on Joe's part to lose some money as a special
Christmas thanks to some very special friends, those of you at ROFB, but he
is truly a class guy. To blindly strike out with stupid accusations like you
both did took no class at all. Enough said.

Merry Christmas anyway.

I for one plan to take advantage of this offer and stock up on a few colors
and sizes that I particularly like.

And the Joy of the Season and Happy Holidays to you and yours Bob.

But it *is* SPAM. Even if you were giving them away and paying the
shipping it would be SPAM.

How many times must it be explained here ? This place, this ROFB,
has value because it's a trusted source of non-commercial and
unbiased information. If people start advertising here, even the
"good guys", this place is diminished. Think of the glossy free
mags that are given away at bait shops. You know, the ones where
the vendor that buys the fanciest full-page ad gets the glowing
gear reviews. That's what ROFB will be if SPAM becomes the norm.

I may, as you say, have no class, but I will be more than happy
to toss your old butt out of my canoe come springtime. ;-)

And thanks for the email Joe, you know where I'm coming from.
