I had ALMOST finished my post telling you about "different answers", "there is no dumb question" etc, when Jimmy's landed in my Inbox... so writing that was apparently a waste of time.
But Ima, there is one thing that Jimmy didn't say. As mentioned, there are more than 500 people on the list... but a high percent of them are passive and just read. When you ask a question, the answer(s) you'll get will reach also them. Among that amount of people, you can be sure that there are others who have been wondering about the same thing as you... but haven't asked about it. Simply: You will not be the only one benefitting from the answers. (Feel good about asking a question as you will do other people a favour.) Stay subscribed and have a blast Learn a lot and do it fast (Oooops... I'm a poet, but didn't know it) /Nick "Jester" Runarsson, Sweden -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Jimmy D. Moore Skickat: den 23 augusti 2005 15:10 Till: [email protected] Ämne: [VFB] Ima, give the VFB a Chance! Ima, I saw your post yesterday, but didn't get around to answering you. If I or others had, you'd never have sent the post this morning about unsubscribing. First off, this is a fly fishing / fly tying list. You can ask any question about either and one of our 500 + members will give you a good answer to your problem. Sometimes you'll get several different answers, but they'll all work. We on the VFB list learn from each other. Many of us have been members since the list started and as such have forged some great and long lasting friendships. Several of us have been able to meet each other at fly and fishing shows around the country and some have been fortunate enough to fish together. We also love to kid each other. We call it banter. :-P I know that this banter back and forth and seemingly "beating a dead horse" at times with similar posts bothers you, but that is what keeps our list fresh. I belong to two other fly fishing email lists and both are DULL because nothing is allowed except technical talk. We VFB'ers subscribe to the philosophy that "all work and no play makes Jack or Jill a pretty dull person." So, give it a few more days, and above all ASK SOME QUESTIONS, and remember, there is no dumb question. If you don't know the answer, the only way you'll get it is to ask. You said in your original post that you were doing research. I'd like to ask what kind of research. Many of us can probably help you and would certainly like to. JUST ASK ! I've hosted over a dozen swaps and will kick one off toward the end of September as the trout season begins to wind down. You'll have ample opportunity to join in my and several other swaps that will begin. Now, How can I help You? JIMMY D
