Fishing forums
Submitted by Willy on Mon, 2008-06-09 16:47
In light of some recent forum debates, I thought this might prove enlightening and comical. No offence intended.
How many forum members does it takes to catch a fish?
1 to catch a fish and to post that the fish has been caught
14 to share similar experiences of catching fish and how the fish could have been caught differently
7 to caution about the dangers of catching fish
1 to move it to the Fishing Report section
2 to argue then move it to the Brag Board section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about catching fish
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "Dewfish" or "Jewfish" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "Piscatorial"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "fish" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about catching and keeping fish and to please take this discussion to a renewable fishing forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all eat fish and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of catching fish is superior, where to buy the best bait, what brand of rods work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different fishing methods
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes fishing relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the fishing controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on fishing before posting questions about fishing"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

The deliberate mistake
Well, I too went fishing within a fishing debate and got a good un, although I thought Dewfish would be too obvious as bait, maybe not

The only thing you will catch using a football as bait is a big catfish.

Just want to focus on the
Just want to focus on the original post and how it has captured an image of modern macro society.
I would also like to point out that the best way to catch 'Dewfish" is with dynamite and a landing net.
