You can call it "Freedom of speech", or you can call it, "I don't have the authority to pull a thread".
Take your pick.
Ted's only way of knowing what is posted on this site is what people tell him. He does not use this site.

I just post info to help keep the anglers informed as to what is happening in the Top Bass Series. Because I like to be informed, so I'm sure you guys do as well.

All I ask is that if you have any Top Bass related questions, please ask them on the Top Bass thread section, not another series' section.
I will then contact Ted and get an answer for your question.

Thanks for your support.
