I have been pondering this last few weeks just how important is FM to you.
For my own part my introduction came at the hands of an old friend who ''badgered'' me constantly to become a member. And ''as he put it'', make a contribution.
Now, seven years on what are my impressions, well there is no doubt in my mind the site is not as vibrant as it once was. This, despite the undeniable fact that anglers as a whole are a bunch of old washerwomen. Harsh words perhaps, but recent weeks seem to indicate just how much controversy can bring out the witch hunters amongst us.
This is supposed to be the''gentle sport/the Brotherhood'' of angling, ''God help us''.
