10 pound Smallie at Dale!!!!

[elnutsmalljaws]

I am by all means not trying to be dis-respectful to anyone associated with running, monitoring, creating or inventing this board. Like I said earlier, I would happily pay to be a member of this board for I have met, learned and hopefully taught information about fishing and life in general to and from many people on this board. I get personal emails on a daily basis from guys about Dale Hollow, info on trips and pictures of fish caught, and it is nice to hear that several of them I told them a technique or specific spot to fish and they call to thank me for them catching their first keeper smallie at Dale. I log into this board MANY times a day and my point is more than validated when the last couple of posters had no idea that my brother in law had lost the battle with cancer. My bet is if the post was left here they would have known.

I will say it again, thanks to all that called, emailed, and private messaged for your support over the past several months!!! Hope to see you on the water in a few months.

Elnut, your point is well stated and so is Fishrgurl. I don't know either of you fellas but are familiar as a silent viewer (usually) of the discussion board. Just a couple of quick comments after reviewing everyone posts:

1. Elnut, I feel your pain. Lost a sister within the last year to cancer and it ***** real loud. My deepest condolences and prayers. If I busted a hernia to boot, I'd be throwing M80's into the toilet to catch crap. You're going through tough times but somehow you'll get through it (for the most part).
2. I know we all agree, although it may not be obvious is a one or two of the posts, that Peter and Jim do a great job on this site and we all thank you guys very much and any others that are not mentioned that help you out. I agree with Elnut, I'd pay for the service. I can't imagine working all day then dealing with the monitoring of this expanded board. We need to build this thing up so Peter can hire a full-time hottie to assist him and Jim.
3. Now let's all say a quick prayer to the weather God, and healing God for you Elnut, so that we can all get on the water and talk about the fishin instead of people to misapply the intent of the discussion board. If ya want to talk basketball, go 'off topic'.

Sorry for your loss Elnut, I have to agree with you on the thread of your Bro-in-law passing....That to me should have stayed on the board for all who knew of the situation would be informed. Those who had no clue should have just ignored the thread after reading it or just passed by it completely. That would have been the humane thing to do, not complain about readng a Thread that took some of your time that you think is so precious.

The people who run this board do an excellent job and I'm grateful for their hard work.

But sometimes there are members who visit this board and have no clue of the other boards and do make posts on here that might be off subject...But who care's, give a heads up and inform the member of the other boards and things wil take care of themselves in the long run.

But sometimes Off Subject threads do need to be posted for all members to read and made aware of, as in the passing of Elnut's bro-in-law....

This Board doesn't say fishing threads only, it say's Kentucky Discussion Board, so if your going to enforce the fishing Threads only concept. Then it should be for all involved and no letting some members break the rules, sponsor or not...IMHO... FWIW...

I'm sorry for your families loss Elnut,bad things happen to everybody,good or bad.I'll have to agree with Elnut on this one.Peter and Jim,ya'll do a great job and I am very thankful for your work,but to move Elnut's post was pretty cold.I know there's rules and I know your sitting there thinking,I like to see some you of people keep peace on the board.It is impossible to please everybody,but what Elwood is saying is to try to keep it fair.
I am very apprecative of the fact that ya'll keep the board clean.(family viewing) Never have met anybody from the board,but feel like I'm friends with a lot of you.Keep up the good work and thanks again for the great info on the board.
