Steve Burke 177 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I know what Newt means. Strangely enough I was thinking the same a few minutes ago when I saw a question from a new member about Abu Reflexes and Flying Cs on the coarse forum. The only reply, despite the post being a couple of days old, was from Newt - that is until I added one. I'd have replied earler but I've been away. Interestingly I posted something to the effect that you can only expect replies if someone can help. presumably in this case no one else could. I make it a point to try to answer questions from new members. After all we were all new members once. However my apologies to any that I've missed. I don't for for one minute think that we're cliquey. However, perhaps we can look out for these posts in future and welcome newcomers with a reply.

Alan Taylor 0 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Newt:This is directed to the "oldtimers" on here. Cliquing Up - as in only posting to threads from folks we know? Rant over. Newt, sorry about this but I think you are out of order here. I have looked at the sea fishing section, there are 2 new posters that have been welcomed and they have not had the decentcy to reply to the help/advice/welcome. This is not the first time either. I went through a years editions of a magazine to try and answer one question and no response from the poster. Why should I bother springs to mind. While I am here, what is not going on with the ANMC site? Not one posting for a week now, we have the badges, is that it :confused: Oh, yes I am a tad annoyed Alan(nl) ANMC Founder Member. . www.the-lounge.org.uk/valley/ Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Roper 23 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 On the subject of not getting a reply to a query. Please remember that with less than 3000 people posting, these forums cannot have knowledge of 'everything'. I enquired about one of my old school teachers once and did not get any positive response at all. You would think that a school teacher would have come into contact with lots of kids who later took up fishing. Just because fishing is one of the biggest passtimes in the country, don't expect all the participants to be looking at AN.

My wife thinks it obsurd but if I can only get her to come with me fishing. I have to throw them all back according to her. (less cooking for me) All in all a great site and plenty warm.

Cheers Gawd no, I hope Elton does not see this one As for getting your Mrs interested, wait until the spring when it is a bit warmer, just a couple of hours at first and then treat her to a meal that she does'nt have to cook, nothing too fancy though.

Newt 290 Posted November 4, 2002 Author Share Posted November 4, 2002 Nugg - you mean you don't think the bivy is lots friendlier at night (especially in winter) with a little warm companionship? Of course I'm assuming that no self-respecting angler would even ever consider having a bivy companion of the opposite gender to whom he/she wasn't lawfully wed.
