As a newbie have thoroughly enjoyed trawling through posts and learning quite a lot. However have been astounded by some of the nastiness and bitterness of a few of the posts. An incredible example of this was the thread entitled " That 400 lb catch from the Trent". Wow, talk about vitriol flying here, there and everywhere.
It went on for over 50 pages and my first thought was to wonder why the
Moderator Graham didn't close the thread. However after a bit of thought I came to the conclusion that he had played a blinder by giving some of the people enough rope to hang themselves. Think the tone of some of the posters changed towards the end of the thread when they realised what was happening with a couple of them wanting the thread withdrawn. However I suppose it's there for all to see for the duration and perhaps a warning against going OTT
