My thanks too Bigstew for the nice job you are doing! You're one of the goodguys. images/icons/smile.gif ...

... Since I have been getting nothing but off the BB criticism from Jennie about things she deems unprofessional by me on the BB, it is obvious that there is 2 messages above; one 'between the lines' for me. She does not like some of my subject matter and many of my humorous posts. I can't seem to please her anymore, as hard as I try and despite all I have done to help develope and moderate the Ifish BB. The real root of the problem, as I see it, is likely that what I have done here has taken attention away from her original and continued agenda she has for herself here. ....

I will take a few days away to think about what I want to do. I will either be given the option of staying on here as myself, or will take the option hosting another fishing BB; as myself! Perhaps all you members can take time to express what you would like to see happen here as well. Thanks much for all of you that have supported me. - Steve Hanson

I'll second that for Stew. Good job there bud.
Steve, You know how I feel about your presence here on the board. Your input on this board is invaluable. It just wouldn't be the same without you. Enjoy your weekend and I personally look forward to seeing you back here next week.

STEVE HANSON: READ YOUR E-MAIL YA BIG DUFUS!

[Starr]

images/icons/shocked.gif I guess I'm too new on Ifish to have anticipated that bomb you just dopped RT. I've never met either Jen or RT, but I feel your somewhat different perspectives complimented the BB. I, for one would hate to see ya go RT, there would be a big hole left felt by all.
Or maybe I should just keep my opinion to myself images/icons/confused.gif

Thanks to everyone for their kind words, I am doing the best I can and appreciate your support. I for one would be sad if RT(Steve) left this board, I appreciate his friendship alot. Steve and Jennie are two of my closest friends and hopefully things can and will be worked out between them. Steve is kind of like a big brother to me and this board would not be the same without him and I mean that.
I know ifish is a true labor of love to Jennie and she feels a closeness to it that the rest of us cannot fully appreciate because it's her "baby" she puts so much of herself into it and it shows. Steve also has put his labor of love into this Bulletin Board and done a lot to help anglers learn more and try to entertain and have fun at the same time.So hopefully things will be worked out between these two friends and wonderful people.

Thanks for the nice supportive e-mail HOGTIDE and ******. I appreciate it a lot! ...

I wish I had addressed this growing issue in a separate post. I don't want to take anything away from my friend Shane's (bigstew) compliments. So I will copy and paste this issue to it's own thread. Please keep any more posts in this thread about Bigstew and the good work he's doing. Thanks. - RT
