Gooose,

I can assure you that you are wrong in your assumption. This is the first time ever that I have registered on this board. You made me curious so I did a search for "pokey". I don't have much time on hand therefore I briefly reviewed some of the previous post by "pokey" and not knowing all the details and history, I came to the following conclusion. "Pokey" was critical of some views on one of the threads and my first post ever happened to be critical as well. You may have assumed that the two critical posts are coming from the same source. That is one huge leap in logic but understandable. As to writing similarities I am an engineer (I did not list that in my profile) and I noticed "pokey" is an engineer as well so that may explain some of the similarities IF ANY! Now I address your question or concern regarding my personal information. I did not post my e-mail address or any other personal information because I do not see the need for it. This is a public forum. However I have no problem sharing personal information if needed. Don't forget this is my second post and you already know that I am an engineer and I must live close to skykomish. Now lets talk about something that has been on my mind since my first post. why did I not just say "Hello, I am new" on my first post. I was planning on doing that but I read couple of posts that made me a bit disenchanted and I went off track. One post was complaining about some guy fishing near the boat ramp ... well, be nice to each other. I am sure most people don't intentionally block the boat ramp. The second thread was this thread where one guy gets bashed for giving a fishing report. People have the right to disagree with you but we are taking about a FISHING REPORT on a FISHING FORUM. People have the right not to share certain or all information but if someone wants to give a fishing report, they should be able to do it without getting harassed.

I think it is past my bed time. I hope it is not too late to say Hello, I am new and I really like this BB. That is why I joined.
