[cool][#0000ff]I repeat...IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. There will be no exclusionary board set up for Utah BFT. Let everyone who wants to send PM's in favor go ahead and waste their time and energy. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You are right on target. If someone does not like our little playroom, let them set up and moderate their own site. But, they better have the following and the "horsepower" to keep it running and to provide the depth of info and experience we have accumulated on this site.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Just so's ya know, Utah is only BFT board that DOES exclude non members from posting. That was because of all the "hit and run" artists that started popping in and popping off, just to start something, without contributing. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, we are sensitive to the fact that in addition to the "lurkers" who stop in only to take what they can there are lots of folks that are "computer challenged" or who do not want to post anything for fear of being ridiculed. Some have had bad experiences elsewhere and it takes awhile for them to become comfortable enough to join up. I know. I get lots of PMs from folks who have just joined, or who have joined but are still not posting.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Weighing the upside against the potential downside(s), we would rather serve the silent masses who need us than to exclude them along with the parasitic lurkers.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The last thing we want to do is penalize those who do not ge to go fishing often...or who do not care to post every detail of every trip, just for their own glory. We have plenty of those. If anything, we should maybe set up a special forum for hyper-egos and icon-conscious post counters.[/#0000ff]
