Default Calender ???

Was I dreaming or did some guy come on here this morning promoting calenders with flies on for $25. Seems the thread has gone altogether

I'm sure somebody said that he was probably from the company selling it, maybe this was true and he didn't want us to know?...

I suspect admin stamped on it as it was a blatant product plug from a non-trade member.

This is most likely what happened, the person posting the thread was in my opinion definately trying to sell the calendar, it was posted in the fishing literature section aswell.

I replied after your post MM and indicated the guy was likely part of a group "Banging his own drum" so to speak.

I presume an Admin noticed it and removed his posting(s)

Best regards
Jim

Campsiefisher, that's a lovely bit of Latin. Know what the "est" bit means--what about the rest. Awful shame that Latin is now virtually finished in schools here in Ireland

A similar thread appeared in the 'Forum online Prize comps' section. Some guy promoting some web based tackle supplier via a facebook comp. Admin were on it like a tramp on a bag of chips.

I just looked it up on google, does it mean 'what fools these mortals be' ? might not be, any translation website is never fully accurate.

I don't do Latin in school, the Latin teacher at our school had a heart attack and unfortunately I think he died...
