The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

<Go fishing, that's what this board is for.>

I agree and am doing so on Saturday. I could make this same point to you. That was a big part of my post. When you stick to fishing and fishing related matters you are are a wealth of information (and have no doubt I could learn tons from you) but when you get away from said matters you can be a real jerk.

<Contribute to this board, attend a BASH and spend some time around here>

Actually I do contribute to the board. As I stated in my post I have not signed up to the new board (i.e. I was a part of the old board). Also I do post on here just typically about fly fishing and fishing related matters, typically stay out of the political arena. I would love to attend a bash and am hoping to do so next year.

<you may even obtain informtion here about fishing for those of us less educated than you>

I have already learned tons from many members of this board. I am sure some are more educated and some less educated than myself. I would like to clarify that in using the word "educated" in my posts I was not necessarily referring to a degree or formal education. I was speaking more about educating yourself on some of the specific topics that you appear to have such strong OPININONS about but seem to sometimes lack good factual basis. This is all that I was saying, but I doubt I needed to clarify that since I assume you were just taking a small pot shot at me (and possibly deservedly so).

<Welcome>

Thanks but as I've stated I've been here for quite a while (2003 to be exact).

Well Paul I kinda doubt from your initial response that you will take anything away from this other than some random assclown taking shots at you. That wasn't really my intention. Maybe I'm wrong but I think some of the people talking about leaving this site could point a finger at least partially at you and the way you deal with people. Might be something to think about (or as I suspect in your case, maybe not).
