Well Superfly, the same can be said of guides and magazine articles, they have all led to the demise of the solitude we all desire. Whether or not Bill posts on fishing boards is not going to change other peoples desire to discuss "spots" to fish. I do believe that Bill could be a great asset when the discussions are about techniques and reading water etc.
I do understand Bill's reluctance to post with all the nit-pick sniping that goes on but I hope he will reconsider some day.
