There were some really informative threads about poles, back in the early days of the board.

Yes, the good ones that inform people about poles are the best however far too many get deleted or locked by those who get jealous or angry!

Far too many misconceptions about poles are still out there and need to be address.

Education about technique as well as pole selection is a mystery to many readers as I read some of the crazy posts

I think it's the time I educated Kyle about the difference between the Pac10 and Big12 in football - a full year before USC showed Oklahoma in person.
