JIMI,
Well stated, I could not have put it better. I know this is a
Flyfishing/ Flytying list, but I love the "Levity" of this list
as well. I'll agree with Byard that sometimes we get Off topic
abit too far.... And Byard, as the everloving, everwatching
momma hen..will pull us little chicks back into order.
You nailed it on the head with the Flyfishing/flytying being
the glue that binds the list. When I'm out on a stream with my
friends, we do not ONLY talk about flyfishing, thought it is
always at the core of streamside conversations...
I hope, as you do JIMI, that Larry will not drop off the list.
I hope He will start up a thread in regards to some area of
Flyfishing/Fly Tying that everyone can chime in on & add their
$0.02 worth to the "kittie"... Cause I'll tell everyone on the
List, Those little "$0.02 worth" bites of Information can be of
great value much of the time. I have an idea for a thread which
should get great response...as did the thread I started on one's
favorite color tye on Wooly Buggers...
