I didn't get a single comment on my latest one on monofilament lines. 
Nah, I'm not sad at all, I can see that 518 people have read or looked it up so far and it's there for future reference. I'm
Posting in general is back on the increase anyway as more people are getting out fishing again. IMO

Bumped into Deanos today on the Swale (ouch!) and he said it was **** as there was no mention of pies in it.

Lets get this right!
Sean was OBVIOUSLY hanging about waiting for me to offer him a cold chip and salad cream buttie....WELL, HE WILL STILL BE THERE WAITING!
AND IF YOU ARE READING THIS...THERE IS MORE CHANCE OF YOU GETTING A LUMP OF CHOCOLATE ORANGE FROM THAT FAT BIRD DAWN FRENCH THAN THERE IS OF GETTING PACK UP OFF ME!

Luckily I'd eaten all my snap and lost my last feeder.

You alright then Deanos?
Still on the same number? If so will give you a ring sometime!

I thought there was a certain lack in it, but pies hardly mix with monofilament line, do they?

No, it does stick in the teeth a bit!
Deanos was using steak and he had a decent chub on it. It is a frightening thought - the big lad loose on the bank with raw steak!

Phew! I'm still trying to get over the thought of him drooling over pictures of Vanessa Feltz.

I rather suspect that it depends greatly on the motives people have for writing articles in the first place. I've written a few for other forums and don't require any feedback, I don't really care what anyone thinks once it has been accepted for publication. That in itself is vindication enough that my drivel is, at least vaguely, coherent and passably readable. I wouldn't expect to write for a magazine and expect a ream of letters about the article. I've also never felt compelled to write in about someones articles. That doesn't change because something is on-line.
I'm afraid that I've seen it before on forums where those making a lot of noise have ulterior motives. Some wish to get involved in the tackle industry, the specialist journalism etc etc. Others simply like the attention. Either way, good luck to them. However, there's no reason to berate anyone else for not facilitating someones gratification, whatever their initial motive. If you require a response to an article, wherever it's published, you've got to either pose questions that are interesting or be controversial, challenging or opinionated enough to provoke. (without it being a blatant wind up.)
