Take it up with Phil. And Jeff. I'm 100% in favor and just so everyone knows, the only PM related to this is between Phil and I with my moderator resignation.
Good luck, that was what I had in mind. It's just not Phil's way. And yeah, take over. I've thought about it and the best I've come up with is delete every post from the problem children as soon as they appear. If I could get away with that things would not be the way they are today.
I gave up on motors on canoes in the Ozarks a long long time ago. My first canoe was a square stern fiberglass boat - actually for a 21 YO going to college it was pretty good. Had access to one of those aircooled 3 hp motors. It was a no go except in long pools.
You should have seen Horse Creek Saturday morning. We were there to pick our boys up. Glad they got theirs done without having to deal with crowds. Thing is they were nearly all kayaks - 50+ I'd guess - and not a fishing rod in sight. A zoo for sure but a well behaved one at least at the put in.
