This is all well and good, Ive been through the OFC discount scenario before, main problem is who administers it, im all for discounts and all, but the administration of this is time consuming, what happens with returns?? etc... Theres a reason that stores make 40 percent, to cover costs of doing business. Who ever takes this on wont find it "fun" for long.

#666 is someone named Paul Perak!! Ill get hold of them via Facebook, thanks to everyone who entered!!

OK skipper Ds got the list... now all i need is a number between 1 and 988 anyone???

It ain't money Im looking for lol I need two people to get the list of names so That when i get a number picked they can verifiy the winner is kosher. Pm me your email if I can send you the list so you can verify the winner for me.

Ill have the winner shorlty... been a tough xmas here.. Ill have a name by tomorrow..

See Below... lol

Good for you!!

... that I've been able to wish everyone here a Merry Xmas 11 times over the years. I hope everyone has a great day... and stays off the board LOL. Share the day with your family.

Thanks everyone, its been an interesting day!

Im sorry for your loss. Its a tough thing.

Ya .. thats it, no reason to bring bait..

You would hope so.. I dont know much about the bait regulations..

I heard today that the MNR MAY (and I stress may have) have confirmed Lake Simcoe to have VHS. Has anyone else heard this??? The reason I'm asking is that IF (and I mean if) it does, does that mean bait businesses there will sell their minnows to travelers along the highway that bring infected bait further north, ie to Lake Nipissing.. or the Muskokas? or even Temagami for Ice fishing?? Can anyone verify this?? http://publicdocs.mn...chment_ID=25952 Like I said, I'm not sure about this, but it would be sad if true.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I hope the dog is going to be ok... compensation or not... once a dog goes nasty like that for no reason, it needs to be tied.

LOL

That is a beautiful fish!

Good luck Ron!! I'm a rooting for ya! I agree!

LOL...

Also... I'm not sure if some of you are aware.. when you see a word changed in your post... it may also be the result of our automated bad word filter.... no changed by a mod, but our all seeing automaton.

I'll weigh in here just a bit.. and reiterate (sorry.. it is the only word I could think of..) Arts comments are right on the nose. First off. Contrary to popular belief, were not making any significant money off this forum. We've tried over the years, we got rid of banners and advertising, cause people either never paid their bills or by having a banner, they thought they had even more right to spam us or want special treatment. After having to be moved to a dedicated server what little we make monthly off the Google ads pays the bills. That's it.. no big mystery. Secondly, the mods do have lives and jobs and family's, some of us have businesses, some of us have day jobs, some of us have to go away for weeks at a time for work, and occasionally some of us have health issues which prevents us from being online to babysit all day long. So when a post gets removed or edited, you have to remember the fact that you just took time out of a moderators day.. his NON PAID time to edit something you said that you likely already knew was close to or was crossing a line. So if the mod is gruff, or DOESN'T SPEND MORE TIME to write you a nice little note explaining to you why your an idiot (hopefully in small words so the user can understand) you'll have to forgive us. Most of the mods here have been doing this for yes... 10 years, and although I stay out of the mod business. (I have received veiled death threats regarding MY family from users... I'm not kidding..) I am amazed at the jobs the boys do. This place wouldn't be here without them. If you had see ALL of the stupid crap that people do here.. over time you just wouldn't believe it. So bottom line is.. and here is a metaphor you can use.. If you drop a cigarette butt in our house and we pick it up without telling you, it doesn't give you the right to do it again, just because we didn't tell you we picked it up. You should have known better in the first place. 10 years.... members come and members go. Its just the way it is.

Dan Trask is missing in the Temagami area, I thought I would post a link to ottertooth. http://www.ottertooth.com/discus/show.cgi?tpc=3&post=15999#POST15999

"It was the only fish of the day, on the very last spot. Just goes to show you "it ain't over till it's over"." No kidding...... wow..
