I have not frequented the forums in a while, due to work. Where has Andy been? I don't see any of his posts.

He's on the Captain Mel site.

I would imagine it was something somebody said that makes people leave here. Since i am the only one likely to say something stupid, I can only imagine it is me. I have gotten emails in the past saying what a bonehead I am.

I like Andy. I like everybody. If another site provides more then we do, then people should spend time where they are most comfortable. It doesn't matter what site it is. This site is alive and fine. But it is a bummer that we lose anybody once they are here.

I wouldn't take it personally.

In my experience, people typically pick a home forum to post in even if they read multiple forums with the same basic focus or content. I'm sure there are posters here that read capmel.com but do most of their posting here. Probably the same with Florida Sportsman.

The fact that fishing in this area can support upwards of three active message boards is a testament to the interest in the sport.

Great post, Chris!!!

Gary you may be a little prickly, but your a straight shooter. I find that refreshing.
