Exactly what I said
Darn it BeaverJack, don' t agree with me! We' re on opposing sides of this arguement!!
Simply put, my point was that these boards are out there. Agree or disagree, it would behoove an outfitter to manage that exposure instead of ignoring it and letting it blindside him.
One schmuck can' t ruin a good name, unless he' s stinkin' rich and owns a newspaper or something like that. A good outfitter, like a good contractor, plumber, etc. will get a lot of business through referrals.
When I first looked at the site that started all this commotion the first post I read was positive. I was about to come back to this board and ask the original poster what specifically he had problems with, since others were happy. I read on though and saw more negative than positive, and many negative threads voiced similar problems. Sounds like a red flag. Take a step back, there' s maybe 12 posts. This outfit has probably hosted more than 12 guys in the last few years. I know its just a sample, may not even be representative. But I know a few things to ask about should I be looking at this outfit. And from this entertaining discussion I' ve learned quite a bit more.
