Interesting question - Clearly we are a subset of all the fisherpeople of the Northwest. I do not think however, that you can make a qualitative distinction of PP Forum readers/responders. In other words, the terms special, elite, etc. carry an impression of being better than someone else. I think that we have seen that discussions on this board can get down to every base level that there is and therefore we can not make a qualitative distinction. Having said that, I do know that I have learned things from this board that make me a better fisherman and a more ethical one as well. The same has happened riverside with folks that I know and don't know. To quote the General, "Nobody knows as much as we all do".
