Counselor -
Great argument...the bait analogy...terrific, too.
Most of the time I am fishing for trophies and find that my time is being wasted unhooking bottom feeders.

I'm sure that you've read enough of my worthy posts to recognize the difference. All I've ever asked is that if you have a different opinion, 1) be eloquent enough to state it, 2) have the resources to support it (i.e. experience or rule book excerpt, 3) have the courage of your convictions when the challenge caomes back. I have had disagreements with very few members here, R.I.T. and Jurassic seem to stir from the deep every time a line gets wet. Others may disagree with some of my ideas, but have never taken it personally. Philosophical differences I encourage, but arguing for the sake of seeing your own (often poorly constructed) sentences is not.

From what I've been reading here over the last two years, I'm not alone in this thinking. I hope you've noticed that on too many occassions, I will post an intelligent, positive response to a query only to have R.I.T. grab the hook and start shaking. You'd think that hook would start to hurt after a while.
