I'm sorry that wasn't entirely directed at you it's previous comments that I've read that were written purely to sound negative I understand yours was most likely a genuine question and fair play, I just answered it as I see it.
As for sensitive types, lol maybe I am or maybe I'm just overly passionate about topics I feel strongly about, as a result I realise the forum isn't for me these days, hence why I try to stay off here but on a thread like this that concerns BEO occasionally I'll post when I feel I should..
I'm the meantime I'll leave the forum to get on with it......

Fair enough Sam, as i say they were genuine questions.
I come on here primarily because of my love of carp angling, like many others. So, i appreciate the good things in the carp scene, whether that be the fish, the venue, or tackle etc.
So those are the things of real interest to me. I love the banter, and a giggle on here very much too.
I also try my best to help people out, i'm sure a good few members would confirm this.
The arguing or politics is what happens on a lot of forums. I know this too well as i used run a couple.
You might see some stuff as nit picking, others may see it as something for discussion?
Like the Terry Hearn stuff, i have fished with, and know a lot of well known anglers, and most of them, i have respect for, as anglers, and people. I don't always agree with how they fish though, or some of their tactics. And they may think the same about me?
That's not nit picking, the respect is still there regardless. One of my sons works for me, he is very good at his job, and i get regular compliments about him and how he works. He and i both do a great job but, differently.
We sometimes mention certain things to each other about which way is best, or nit pick if you like?
We never argue about it though, as all said and done, we have our own ways, and they work for us.
Fishings's the same isn't it?
So, i try and focus on the important things here, which are, just what i mentioned, the fish, photos etc, venues and info, and tackle.
Sometimes along the way, people will argue here but, the fact that this forum still ticks along nicely after all these years, after various menbers have come and gone, says a lot i think you'll agree?
You and i have had more than one or two ding dongs but, that doesn't mean i can't appreciate a great venue and great fish etc, i'm really not that shallow.
I think the photos and fish at your place are superb, and, i often gaize and admire the photos in this thread. What genuine carp angler wouldn't?
As i said, just some genuine questions, out of interest.
That's all

The pics have the look of colour enhancement but that's what advertisers do,its all about the product.
Generally speaking,bright sunlight and sunny,clear skies are rubbish for photography, hence the need for photoshopping pictures. Otherwise the pics come out flat and dull.
Still,can't knock paid for advertisers, it also helps with forum costs.
