"I am very much in favor of lowering the "admissions" standard to the board to include any who proactively [/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b]contribute[/b] to the fishing experience."
I would bet the majority of members on this forum are younger people with young families, working at least one job 5 days a week. the idea that they can go fishing and write a report once a week is ridiculous. They have family obligations, financial issues and other priorities, just as we did. That doesn't mean they don't love to fish as much as we do. I have been on this site a little over 4 years I think, and feel like I have contributed something. Answered every PM, give any info asked of me including GPS coordinates, many times to the people who are now shunning us as non contributors.
.
Me and many like me have been lumped in with the dreaded lurkers. I and many others have avoided them via the PM with things we didn't want to share.
You say;
"I will not post any more of my fishing location reports on the open board so that my places get overrun by those who add nothing in return"
Nor will I. There is no sense in reasoning with unreasonable men. I mean no disrespect to you personally or any others, but I will not share my meager knowelge with those who refuse to share with me.
