Okay, this is merely a statement or some things I have noticed about the forum. (Been around here for over 10 years  ) Forum is a great place to learn, spend some "downtime" at work, or look for some drama  . BUT when people ask a question (for instance the kid asking about Fork) don't get bent out of shape. Either post a reply or move along. I have recently gotten back into fly fishing for trout (taking the year off bass tournaments due to baby). I have realized I know about 1% of the tactics, equipment, ect in fly fishing. I feel dumb as can be. I have found the fly fishing section to very useful in my learning. I have been on You Tube watching Beginner Fly Fishing Tips(which seem silly). I have learned a ton in a month. There have been some very helpful guys in the fly fishing section. Now personally I would feel silly asking those questions in the bass section. (How to rig a wacky worm) For one I feel like I know "most" everything about bass, equipment, ect. I don't get much "new" information....but someone that doesn't know "bass" would find it very useful posting such questions. So please realize everyone that uses this forum is not a veteran of the bass tournaments and is possibly here to learn something new. So enjoy yourself and keep it civil. Life is so much more enjoyable that way!  If you know everything pick up a new hobby or fish, you will most likely feel humbled.
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

Live, learn, die, forgot it all. Pass the knowledge on so that others can do the same...

I have started to notice more and more younger anglers posting here also.
When someone is asking a question seeking real advice, it's a compliment that the TFF is a place that one can seek advice and get some good information.
I have learned a lot about fishing and other things here, though I rarely ask many questions, I learn more through reading.
There are several things I have picked up that have indeed made me a better angler.

I agree, alot of pro's on here but you wouldn't see a real pro be condescending towards a 12 year old wanting a fishing report!
