I've followed this thread for quite a while now, but staying out of it, since I do no deep sea fishing myself, and have nothing constuctive to offer, but Nagg, your comments about Hitler were just plain uncalled for, and frankly quite offensive to not just myself but maybe the vast majority of all ausfishers, not to mention other people around the world who won't ever read this. It is at this point that I suggest that although you direct the hitler comment at someone else, I believe it is you who are behaving as such a vicious and savage dictator by not hearing and showing empathy to others and their opinions. From reading your coments, you are quite intent on making your views not only heard, but basically saying "my way or the highway pal".
Before you start critising others fishing practices, you should be undertaking more research rather than just going at it hammer and tongs, trying to force people to believe you are right without question. In saying that, perhaps you are right in this instance, but without any sort of facts to back yourself up, and to present a more convincing case, you are making yourself out to be a walking joke, whom people will eventually stop "listening" to.
