Rusty, everyone has a right to share as much or as little as they like. Simply belonging on a forum does not immediate require any members to share everything they know.

Some people, like you, may have no reservations to share everything. That is perfectly fine. Some people, like myself, see everything we've learned from experience and through learning from others as knowledge that is valued, as a lot of effort was put forward to build out knowledge.

The internet can be accessed by anyone, whether they contribute positively to our community or not. As such, there are those members, called "lurkers" who simply join a community just to take but never give.

Sure, you said you are more than willing to give to the community, but as a new member, all that our members see from you was the ask for information without so much as an introduction post to say "hello". That's interpreted as simply opening your palm to ask for a hand out.

In additon, respect is mutual. When you post a sarcastic comment toward two members that are reacquainted through the community, don't be surprised that the members are not more helpful.

Respect people's right to share or not to share, and respect each other as members of a community.

I completely understand what you mean, my point was to be, I received a response of a fishing location, which was greatly appreciated, and was just looking for more info, in regards to what is best to use there..etc. I didn't know that someone will respond of a spot and not want to respond to hopeful of getting further help. My comment about the reaquintance, was more just a joke, no harm to be meant from it...I do apologize if it did come off sarcastic, but, not my intention at all. So anyone I did offend, my complete apologies. I'm just saying myself, if I can give a helping hand to someone, even it took me years to master...I wont hesitate to give help if I can, hope to build mutual respect. If someone doesn't, then your right it's there perogative. Now as a newbie here, I know now what I can ask and shouldn't ask. Again, my apologies to anyone I offended.
