Do this and you'll be fine. Good advice.

Bill what I am referring to is that the views he is espousing are centered around his own personal perception and don't necessarily relate to the general populace or reflect their experience. It wasn't a slam per se but an accurate description of what amounts to a limited viewpoint. There are some things he has said that resemble my own point of view but the way they are put irritates folks and puts them off. That is basically what I was saying.

Sometimes people may know more than you might think or than the experience of your little personal world. Many of the RA medications have very pronounced side effects for some people and some can even include death (unusual but possible). Everyone is different in how they metabolize the different drugs and there are many different forms of RA as well. The quote is an example of what Gator and I were referring to.....you word things in such a way that appears as arrogance and being condescending. A little tact can go along way in getting a point across.

Maybe a pause here would do us all a lot of good We've probably all posted things on here that were the product of emotion rather than being fully thoughtfully processed beforehand, and taking into account the different views of others. Extreme views can really quickly polarize folks and Trump and Pelosi are both good examples. It is easy to incite people when emotions run high on some issues in particular. Gator hit the nail on the head I think that Ray has made some points that could be well taken but has also added statements that detract from those points and I guess hammering him won't change much in the way of appealing to viewing things with a wider perspective. Perhaps a little understanding is also in order as chronic RA is a condition that usually leaves folks with a greatly hightened underlying irritability and reduced patience and some of the meds used to treat it greatly increase this factor. I for one am willing to pause my judgment and hope that maybe a little reflection on the main issue of the virus might be more productive.

Yes I suspected that but I am wondering if there is a way to tell by looking at it because I think mine was replaced a few years ago.when I had some servicing done.

How can you tell which you have on the shaft of your Merc outboard (Saltwater Optimax never used in the saltwater environment)?

Not sure if you are talking walleye rigs or stuff like laker three ways. The walleye three-ways I wind up on small styrofoam blocks minus the weight. For lake trout rigs I add the three-way swivel to the existing swivel snap, have a dropper line with weight already made up and attach that and the attractor, spoon or other item to the back (horizontal) ring so all the components are stored separately.
