It seems that if I leave the list there will be thirteen other members that have contacted me off list that will also leave. I can't be responsible for that so I will hang in there. I seldom post anymore for the same reason, not much going on. Wish we could get back to the list as it was five or so years ago. I will hang in there and just reply to fly tying messages. I will keep my D key handy. Tony

It has become like some kind of chat room... mails with nothing but smilies... lmao's... mails INTENTIONALLY opening private chats on the list. "I don't need his address... I use the list instead." There's a purpose for the list and it's not person-to-person chats about "everything and some fishing". (That was the way I understood it.) There's no NEED to reply to everything that comes in... just for the sake of it... verifications of that it has been read can be sent offline. The address is right there. I've been asked 'Why don't I see you that often anymore?'... well, I hardly even READ everything anymore. I see 25 new messages in my inbox and know that "Five of these will be what almost everything was before... do I have the energy to dig for it?" Took a little peek at the posting statistics... July and forward: * July: 293 * August: 476 * September: 579 * October: 629 * November: 898....... with another 12 days to go. Kind of speaks for itself... November, 50 mails a day... same rate will be 1500 by November finish line.. I moderate Scandinavia's largest fly-fishing forum with about 3500 members (lots of youngsters). You would maybe EXPECT a mailing list ('letters') to be "cleaner" than that kind of open forum ('anonymous notes on the board'). Not necessarily so...

As long as you mentioned me in this message I will reply on list. I have no problem, I have a D key. I am also sick and tired of all the messages with a lot of crap. As soon as I send in the Christmas swap photos, I am out of here. I have been with this list since day one but it is time to leave.

My daughter brought the computer geek from work and in five minutes; all images were in range and viewable. ALL I said was it worked for me BUT MAY not for others and implied that it could be thier settings. That is the first place I would have looked at (all parties). If Tony has a problem with what I said; let him respond to me and Mark. That is not your responsibility! In fact, it is time to drop the subject and go offline direct. I, for one, an getting tired of seeing 40 resposes from one person. It was so nice for a year or so. May your GOD be your fishing partner.
