No hooting from me. I can fully appreciate, and relate, to what you are saying. The problem that we are trying to address, is that ever since this forum got opened, there really hasn't been any discussion of Marlins on it. A few people have commented that this is misleading in that they come here expecting something Marlin related, yet the content turns out to be nothing Marlin related.
While I've been known to be sentemental myself, I'm still convinced that a name which indicates what is REALLY discussed here would be more beneficial. It's really up to all the regulars though.
I'll go ahead and make sure that "Misc Marlin Talk" gets added to the poll we will create in case others feel the same as you do.
