an interesting statistic

93% of posts made on commercial online fishing forums are made by people involved in the manufacture, distribution, resell or promotion of boats, outboards, fishing equipment and related items.

These people have an interest in maintaining closed online communities over which they can exert control and where dissenting views can be silenced. At the same time they have an interest in creating the misimpression of an open community of interested informed consumers rather than a community of salesmen.

I believe the web managers themselves looked into it. They keep tabs on most of the members and a lot of them approach the owners about advertising or their job comes up in discussion. I don't always trust stats myself but from what I've seen it looks about right. Try asking a few of the members who post a lot, you'll be surprised.
