Dean:

A noble attempt and I agree that it would be nice to see other threads get a bit more active... But as you also stated the popularity of each thread is due to the exchange of thoughts by the host as well and Ty takes the time to talk!!!

I watch/post on In-Depth Outdoors, Fishinginfo and Lake Link. I do use a name change on Lake-link, but not here or IDO as each of these sites doesn't allow the crappy banter/insults to certain philosophies. There are a number of sites I don't even visit for that very reason. If you look over each of the states that certain websites use, its is impressive that WI is more willing to talk than most other areas.

I am glad we embrace that ideal.
