Reel Repair by Alan Tani

When i worked on firetrucks they showed me how to swirl aluminum,,,i like the old style the best

Here are a few more photos. Maybe these will help.

     This is the way I see it .    A I is a new born child ,It wants to learn . It is going to learn from it`s surrounds .    When the bots go through picking up pieces of information and feeding this child what it finds , we as a fishing reel community need to keep our floors clean .   Clean up misinformation when we see it . or we will be just as bad as spreading misinformation ourselves .   

 When I watch the videos , I keep a open mind and view it as a murder mystery , the plot shifts and turns giving you back stories , and somehow it come together .   When something doesn't make sense I watch it again , pause it ,watch again .   After all it is about how fishing companies rose up and how they fell or slid down from former glory .    Did you learn anything from the content ?  Did it make you think ?

After pulling a disappearing act a couple weeks ago it seems the fleet has found the bft again and they are a great size!

Hopeful they stay on them!

Just say no to Aggregated Ignorance.

I liked the B F Meek video. I have a Bluegrass reel probably made from the turn of the century to the teen's. Some stupidly in there, esp. the pictures not related to the excessively worded and repeated points, voice-over.
I believed the 4 or 5 times repeated point about the hand-tool fine tuning of each individual reel. They'ed a done that as a small prideful company.

Ai is about making $. You guy's are not being good free market capitalists with all your negativity. Ease-up..., yeah..., now..., just allow it to take-over your thinking and research..., yeah.

Not sure if it was this site, when I joined? But one of them says you will not publish any content that you know, may not be totally true? I've just saw so many instances, where people are misusing A-eye to try to help other people, unknowingly and knowingly in the wrong way, simply because they don't know the correct answer, and just want to be a know it all. There's already a few sites that have an active A-eye bot. Down south there's a fishing site called Pier And Surf. Their PIA bot is called ForaFrank. Constantly get notifications from there from old threads, where it just tries to strike up a new conversation. So annoying, and don't participate there anymore, just because of this. I'm not willingly talking fishing, with no damned bots...!!! I say ban it!

I have sent Dawn the info. I found a size that might work. Thanks.

I should also note that we are not alone here.  There are debates across many if not most of the internet communities on how to deal with AI generated content.   It seems that the consensus leans toward either banning it outright, restricting it to specific situations/areas, or at a minimum requiring clear identification of AI content.  Not too many sites with a "let-er-rip" policy.

I suspect that we will eventually get around to having a formal or informal AI policy once it gets bad enough.
