Ever wonder why someone would post the same thread on NEFF and NJTrout???

Look at pmjasper, nice enough chap, but he posts a thread on NJT and NEFF just a few minutes apart, why is that?

NJT in two days had 496 views, 1 being mine because I wanted to look in on it for this thread.. which I WON'T be posting on NJT.

NEFF in the same time period had only 118 views, 2 of which was mine. Again, I just wanted to see what the hub-bub was about.

NEFF had 6 posts to the thread, 3 of which belonged to pmjasper.

NJT had 18 posts, 3 of which were by JeffK.

JeffK didn't respond to the NEFF thread.

It seems like the same number of people view each site daily. Course the names of the regulars are different, except The Sib and JeffK they post on both using the same name. I would be in that group of using the same name on both sites, but I think I am barred from posting on NJT. I wonder why? (only Buckwheat uses more question marks than I)

But you have to ask yourself why would a thread entitled NYMPH AND EMERGER COLORATION have almost 500 views on one site and barely above 100 on the other?

Is it that important a topic for 500 people to have that much interest in it?

Course, this site generally has more "action" threads and posts that draw considerably more attention. So reaching 118 views is not that exciting to the readers there.

Or,

Could it just be the chat sites are like hackle. Two sides to each hackle, except NJT is the dull side of fly fishing chats.
