I recognize what you're saying ewest, and I do agree that some type of thanks is in order. But I also believe that good manners extends to the non-solicitation of such accolades. I think words like sacrifice, and donate, carry with them an implied expectation of non-compensation.

I honestly have no problem with helping to fund the forum. I have subscribed to the magazine for years, I attended PB V, and I have previously donated to the forum itself...I think if I'm in a position to do so, then I should, considering what I've learned from my stay on here. After all, tuition isn't free.

I just have a hard time reconciling the Hall of Fame label. It's probably just someting unique to my sensibilities...I haven't even added the "I subscribe" fish logo.

Again, I mean no disrespect to PondBoss, or anyone here. But right or wrong, I am glad I finally said something about it, and I appreciate the tolerance extended to an opposing viewpoint.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
