The man merely asked a question.

Is it OK for me to post my for sale stuff here so that I get better exposure? Maybe better prices for my junk. By some logic I guess that it is acceptable.

Maybe we should have just one forum and pile all subjects in it????

There are some boaters that don't give a god damn about snapper and if they are off limits, or completely gone. Fisherpeople probably care more than boaters. The fisherfolks may be hanging out in the fish forum. I guess.

Have we as a group lost our civility?

Pretty soon they will regulate when or if you can wake up. Why do you think the OB manufacturers built lean burn HPDIs and johnson evinrude built the pos fict? To save the fishies and so algore, nancy pelossi and the rest of the eliete rulers can fly in their personal jets and tell us our OBs make to much noise or the smell to the fishies.

"6 posts and already he is policing"... Well, no I was not policing anything, just asking a logical question as jethro1 pointed out. I only felt the fishing guys would appreciate hearing about this, and some of you jumped all over me. What, you are not allowed to ask a question until you have a certain number of precious posts?

And so what about the number of posts anybody has? I'll stack my experience in boating, navigating in seas around the world, mechanics and publishing in the marine field with darn near anybody on this board no matter how many posts they have. Besides, when I see some of the idiotic paranoid political ramblings spewing from the lunatic fringe and realize they also count as posts, the number means even less. Pelagic whatever's cute answer "no" to my question even counts as a post. Big deal. Get over yourselves.

Tell me if I am wrong but this sounds good to me, didn't read it all but went there with Jags link. I only read a little but I like a 10 yr study that I read. It must be good because the Pew is up in arm's about it.

I don't joy ride or booze cruise,I only fish (healthy habit, in sobriety), I would have to sell my boats and go 4 wheelin in my high pollution 08 diesel truck!
