Hello,
Being the person that posted the deleted message, I thought I should respond to clear up the intent of the message. I understand the reasons for not allowing blatant commercial messages – as a reader, self promotion by companies gets old very fast – and I have no problem with the decision to remove this post. I would like to add however that I meant no harm and did not intend to constantly post new commercial messages. Just one quick intro message to let everyone know that there is a new Minnesota-based tackle company. Since this *is* a Gear Forum, I assumed that this would be acceptable as long we didn’t post 100 follow-up commercial messages. I thought it was much more honest to state that I am with the company rather than pretending to be just another angler talking about the product (which happens on all message boards). I enjoy this forum and enjoy hearing about new products, fishing reports, etc. These boards are great. Again, we meant no disrespect and we will continue to support this site. Didn’t mean to cause a controversy.
