Okie, I'm sorry you feel that way.
I would not take it as any reflection of you or your 'status' on the forum.
Regarding the comment about the "Good 'Ol Boy" club, I understand what you are saying, but there is truly no real exclusion of anyone. You get what you put in, and that has morphed into a lot of in-person meetings, large and small, not just posting on the forum.
It's funny to think how strong some of the friendships are that were hatched on the forum.
The week after next, 12 of us are going on a fishing charter to Richmond Mills. Out of the 12, there are three who I've never met before. You'll be surprised at the mix of people.
