Another site gone to the dogs..................

[ScarabChris]

Yeah pretty crappy indeed. As long as the link wasn't to a website that directly competes with the site this occured on I see no reason they should have deleted it. Thats no way to keep the members happy.

Oh yeah...since November 5th, 2008. Definitely different Thanksgiving and Christmas than in the past.

Shooting for this Monday, the 13th...I hope, as does everyone else. We've got orders. Just time to start building them! :605_thumbs_up:

That is great Bob!!!

e-mailed you

[trailerguy]

you are correct sir..we should try to help out each other when a fellow fisherman loses his job which he needs to support his family......sounds to me like that moderator needs a attitude adjustment...suppose he loses his job..he will want help.........tell your friend ill say a prayer for his quick find for a job.....

[Capt Rick Hiott]

Ill get him to come over here where the good guys are..................

[cracker]

I dont see an issue with it as long as it is posted in a helpful manner and not advertising. THAT other site is way too heavy on moderation. As this place picks up more speed I am spending more time over here... Thanks, Wiley..

[Capt Rick Hiott]

It was posted in a helpful manner ,,,,thats what made me so mad.

Like I said,,,Inconsiderate people piss me off!

[SCAngler]

deleting a "legitimate" post of a guy trying to help another fellow boater is wrong IN MY OPINION.

,,,,,,,,,thank you sir!

i agree with you Rick

I have known Rick for 15 years. He is one heck of a fishing guide in Charleston for inshore stuff. I wrote 2 articles about him and mentioned him in maybe a dozen more. I can tell you he is passionate about fishing and has a very well developed sense of right-and-wrong.

8 years ago he took me and a "newbie" out for a 3 hour charter. My friend had never fished in salt water before. My friend caught 4 redfish 32, 32, 36 and 40 inch fish. His attitude was " there is nothing to this redfish business...lol."

In addition to my modest efforts Rick has been featured in many of the top fishing mags around.

PS...Rick I hope you married that girl because she was HOT!!!!

Best regards, Laird

[Capt Rick Hiott]

Thanks for the kind words Laird. (Yes we did get married)

Well it certainly is inconsiderate, especially in this market. However, the mods may have done your friend a favor. Just think how many other people looking for work may have seen it ahead of him or after him and applied. By deleting it, they may have kept the applicant pool lower for your friend.

Hey, had to try and find a glass is half full out of this somehow.
