by locking the threads all this gives is people who are friends the chance to be a bit more open about things, not that we should all do so, but if someone said where were you fishing? i dont mean name the peg but in giving a little clue to your friend about certain stretches means every tom dick and harry can see, when it comes to litter and poachers its obviously more dicks than tom or harry anyway. i know its not everyones cup of tea to disclose things but me personally i dont mind helping others out but i dont like helping out people who are just lurking and are after fish hunting, any way it was just an idea lol :-)
take care all
