We have this saying at our office "No good deed goes unpunished"
Here is Bill taking his time and expertise and sharing it for free for all of us who want to learn something. Unlike 99% of fishing guides around the country that I have dealt with(not you local Branson guys), he carefully explains to anyone who wants to read, what to use, where to use it, how to use it, and why it will work best. There are reasons why some people catch more than others who are using " the same thing". I'm sure that there are many people like me who do not have the opertunity to fish as much as we would like and therefore enjoy reading about it.
Then, here comes some complete kuncklehead(insert your favorite phrase, so many come to mind that it is hard to pick just one) who decides it is somehow funny to impune the integrity of Bill by suggesting that Bill is somehow profiting by his advice.
Real Funny, Ha Ha Ha
People with no integrity of their own perhaps do not understand how important it is to those who maintain it at a high level.
I'm not sure if people notice, but at times Bill goes on this forum earily in the morning and late at night to give up to the minute reports. I'm sure that he does not have anything better to do before or after a day of work than to give us great advice.
If Bill decides not to post anymore I completely understand his frustration, but all of us will be poorer for it.
