Thank you kindly for the compliment. As an editor, writer, and columnist I have to try and stay neutral...something that I have had a hard time doing lately. But I write my articles based on what my devoted readers want to see in the pages of TFH.....only a tiny fraction of these members are actually visitors on any of the "predatory" fish boards...this one or otherwise so I must keep their interests in mind all the time.
I must also keep the member's interests in mind from places like MFK, AP, and WW, as they are important also. I write for the people...not for fame, not for fortune, not for free stuff. If my articles help educate young people and newcomers about the fishes that they are interested in then, and only then, am I doing my job.
What forum folks don't realize is that their wars, which are rediculous and silly, hurt the people that make these forums possible in the first place.
Again, thanks for the nice words.
