I have been a member of this board since 2010. I dont post much, mostly because I don't get to fish much with my other responsibilities, but I feel I have helped quite a few people by pm, phone calls, and even meeting up to demonstrate technique and lend a helping hand. I frequent this board to
at the the funny comments, drool at the pictures of big fish, and share in the adventures posted here. I like to lend a helping hand when I can.
I remember your first post and first year or so that you were a member. You were ridiculed, mocked, and probably despised by some....Why? Because you shared what you were doing, catching and eating fish and loving it, and you were very vocal about your right to share. Young man I find it admirable that you came on here, what 3 years ago?, and have gone from being, dare I say, dispised by many to being a moderator. Now that you are a moderator you have been able to change this forum to what your stated objective was from your very first post(I have attached it in case you forgot)
[#ff00ff]"I have been lurking for a while and my only hesitation to joining is that there is no "confidential type of section" but considering the amount of expertise on this site I can no longer deny what a great resource this site is"[/#ff00ff]
[#000000]Like I said earlier, admirable. You now have your "confidential section". As an employer I value people that set a goal and accomplish it. As an employer I also know that perspectives change, yours obviosly has. You were admittadly "lurking for a while" viewing others posts, gleaning knowledge from the "great resource this site is". Now you don't need to glean knowledge so you no longer need to view the posts from the masses. You also no longer think the masses are worthy of your posts. This is unfortunate for those that, like you were, are lurking and gaining knowledge from the posts of those that have come before.[/#000000]
[#000000] Like I said admirable. It reminds me of those that have built homes in exclusive neighborhoods, or in country estates then lobby to limit buiding permits because, after all they have theirs now and don't want it to get crowded.[/#000000]
I have enjoyed this site, and have enjoyed being a member here, I hope that I have been able to help someone enjoy this sport I love, but my perspective has now changed. Please remove my account. I would do it myself but honesly cant figure out how.
By the way, this statement doesn't seem to be true
[#ff0080]" There was a marker left on the main utah board that directs you to this thread it just won't be at the top of the main ut board everytime someone comments on it. In fact that marker on the main ut board is how I found this discussion."[/#ff0080]
[#ff0080][#000000]I looked through the fist 6 pages on the main forum and could not find a tag directing me there. But maybe I missed it.[/#000000]
