What states

[xander]

good grief people, although there was a legit question by the OP, and a real answer by peje, this is has gotten to be one of the DUMBEST threads in the forum.

the natureserve site gives plenty of info, just enter in the GAR SPECIES and it will give you a distribution map if you know how to operate the internets.

ALSO, you can check lepisosteidae.net which has the range linked with each species (again from Natureserve).--

Only reason this subforum scares people is because we expect more from it and try to keep it top quality over quantity. Gar specific forums are rare and those of us with specific interest in the fish really would like the information and discussion being presented being of a useful nature.

It would really be nice if people would post information on a basis that is accurate and useful rather than just make up something and guess just for the sake of it and just to post for the sake of posting. Really.... There are top name people on this site that spend a good deal of time around these fish. Stupid answers to simple questions are really not very welcome and all they do is cause friction and problems that are totally avoidable with the person involved just not bothering to post about things they know nothing about or issues they know nothing about and then copping an attitude for their own ignorance of what is being discussed.

Should people actually just stay out of that which they do not know this site would be really awesome for everyone and not just the occasional Drive by poster (which seems to be given god status by some).... It seems to me that these people should be the focus of moderation. Not those that have continually added useful and detailed content and material. It does not matter to me if I'm banned. If I am than what is lost is someone that bothers enough to try just every once and awhile to do something useful, give accurate and current information and is very much in the Top class of those that work with these fish. Dealing with BS is not something I do and I call it when I see it straight out without pussy footing around trying to tone down the same insults given to me by those that have zero business saying anything at all.

Ask yourself which type of Posts you wish to read here on MFK and specifically the gar forum. (As this Gar forum is the most important really) actually useful, accurate and detailed or one liners and just made up on the spot Drive by posts by some unknown person with little reason to care for accuracy or usefulness. After all why would they care it's not there fish or there subject but is just another post count.

That said it is over and out most likely.. Again for me as I just will not keep my mouth shut...

Take care and good Gar keeping to the many friends I know that I've made here and know from here. Your the ones to continue the cause to make this a good place to go for Gar information.
