Super User fourbizz Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 Seems like we've had a population explosion of experts at BR!! Maybe I have learned less than I thought over the past 25 years. :-/ I'm amazed at how many people went from novice to sudden expert in some cases just a few short months (or a few hundred posts). I'm learning lots of new "facts" about guides, cork, blank power and action, rod design and all sorts of other rod and reel related info..... it's like starting over! In all seriousness, I feel bad for those who are just starting out and look to us for info... much of the advice lately has been poor. Somewhere between price and preference, many people have lost the ability to suggest based on an original poster's needs. Sorry for the rant, it's been bugging me for a while. I figured that since it was rod/reel related, I'd post in this forum. (although there is a perfect, topic based, Mod opportunity, left wide open) ...lol I understand the intent of this post. It was not what people have made it into. One word describes what I think flech's intent was and anyone who has been around here for a couple of years will remember: GAMEOVER I think that there is a GO apprentice running around the board these days too.

Super User senile1 Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 I think I know why this thread originated .....I saw muddy making a few posts in the Boating section about advanced trolling motor operation : The newbie he gave advice to is still out on the lake doing circles ... to the right of course Classic That was classic, indeed. Thanks for the reminder, RW. Repetition is a great learning tool.
Guest muddy Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Expertise and post count have nothing to do with eachother, if Al Linder came on ehere tommorw and his first post was informative, and to the point that would be just fine with me. There is a lot of growth here, and many people are , IMO trying to show how much they know in an overkilling kind of way, it's like a great rookie basball player steppin up to the plate and swinging at everything Maybe this forum is changing and it will be a more knowledgable place, un suited for humor and such. Pehaps i just do not take all this as seriously as many do, There was a feeling that there was room for all of us, but lately this seems to be changing to a home for a more serious look at bass fsihing.

Nope. Mostly it's just for fun! If along the way there is also some useful information, educational or instructive posts and threads, then so much the better. I suggest everyone just lighten up a bit and chill. If you don't like a post or thread, move on. There is no obligation to read or respond on this board. BTW, There is PLENTY of room for more serious fishermen, too. Participate in the fun and games if you like, but many of our most respected members take a decidedly different approach. Funny or stern is not the same as good and bad. 8-)
Guest muddy Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Thanks RW , I can use that advise and insight.It is changing in tone somehat, I am not compalining , just saying what I feel is going on. I am not the one to stand in the way of change, no one is ever that important. Things are always in a constant state of change, some not as comfortable as others
Tpayneful Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I wanted to add that you don't want to stand behind an elephant at anytime becuase they walk in a line and you will get trampled Ask me how I know ;D
Guest muddy Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Ok I'll bite How do you know that! Let's not hijack this thread. it's a lot of fellas talking some good stuff here though.
Super User burleytog Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 IMHO the source of the problem is obvious. :-X

Tpayneful Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 The first time I was in Zambia we came upon an elephant that was crossing the road. My driver stopped the car right behind the elephant so I could take a picture. I swung out of the car window "Bo and Luke Duke" style to get a picture. I was sitting on the car window sill and using the roof of the car to steady my 35mm Minolta. A second later my driver yelled something in some African dialect that I couldn't understand and started to pull forward. I looked behind me to see what was the matter and was face to face with one GIANT African elephant! When you are that close you can see the whites of their eyes My driver got us out of the way just in time. It wasn't one elephant but a line of elephants. As far as the topic goes......I understand that some people give uninformed advice (probably me) at times but it is a free country and I like this place
