Sounds like a fair enough idea decrep. However, free speech, free ideas etc etc. Not knocking, just don't think other users should feel censored.
I'm with grumples, what's the deal with this dood

Hardie is undoubtedly most experienced in this field. However, I wonder whether there is something physical (brain injury?) behind this behaviour. Perhaps our friend does discover 20 year old windsurfing equipment every time he opens his garage. Perhaps he really does need help identifying it every couple of weeks. Perhaps he can't recall asking previously.

As for the game, bring it on

How can we make it work

separate forum topic

Maybe in the secret fishing forum, no-one will look there and we can guess who is Brucie as much as we like. Perhaps Pugsie is Brucie!!!
Or, we could get Laurie to add a security option for new forum users. Maybe a questionnaire:
1. Are you a poley, bagger, surfer, lidder, diver etc y/n
2. How often do you do one of above?
3. Are you Brucie?
