What’s up with this? 1) It’s Blake’s latest scheme to stir up a bunch of controversy? 2) You can vote for yourself but you can’t vote twice? 3) How come 1 to 5 instead of 10? 4) Who voted my Lobster Tale a 4? I thought it was at least an 8! 5) What about the freedom of information act? 6) How come no batch voting? (I want to vote 0 on all that guy’s posts who voted mine a 4, but I’m a busy man.) 7) Some of us, like Rocket, are sensitive about this kind of thing, and too many 1’s might spur him on to some serious bandwidth hogging. 8) I think post ratings should be included in the search engine. Like maybe I want to read all the 1’s of the last ten days. 9) How ‘bout an average post rating included in your profile? 10) And maybe a nitwit of the month award for the lowest average rating? 11) All the above permutations are currently available to Admin. Are we all being profiled? And this is just off the top of my head. (But I still think it’s a 10. I think I’ll vote!) | ||

Its smart enough to identify that I was attempting to pad Petes vote average. but not smart enough to catch me voting for myself. (Message edited by tripper on December 09, 2005) | ||

1) of course! | ||

It's a conspiracy I tell ya! I do believe you’re right. I just looked at the profiles of you guys trying to defame me, and you’re both Georgia Crackers. I’m from Florida, but not South Florida. If it weren’t for the St. Mary’s River, (or the last thirty years), I could throw a stone across the state line. You think all the pit bulls and gun racks are in Georgia? But I have no animosity. It’s not y’all’s fault you’ve never seen the state line. | ||

4) Who voted my Lobster Tale a 4? I thought it was at least an 8! Sorry there Cap'n. I rarely give top marks.  Rob | ||

This whole things a spoof, you know. I'm happy you took the time to read it, Rob, and I'm proud of your 4.  I remember reading about the urchin fishery in National Fisherman when it first got started. I couldn't believe there was anything there that was edible, let alone worth money. I guess it got going pretty good for a while. How deep were you working? Dry suit I presume? And one of those toilet seat helmuts? And what are the cukes worth? The lagoons here are full of 'em. It's amazing what the oriental market will pay for some of that stuff. I'm looking at the Japanese sashimi grade tuna fishery as an option out here, but it looks like you have to graduate from med school just to be able to dress the things properly. You're not even supposed to handle them with your bare hands because of the oils on your palms. Those folks are right picky, but if you do it right, the fish bring some big bucks. Yeah, fishin's a great life when you're in the meat and not getting your brains beat out. CP | ||

Where is this Lobster Tale? | ||
| Captpete |
What game is played with a basketball? Sorry, I couldn't help it. It's in the Tale Section. | ||
| Crusty |
Oh. Right. That's one dusty corner of this labyrinthine maze that I seldom visit. I'll have to go check it out. |
