Did this "mud" really need to be slung on this list?
Maybe Justin's wife passed away, maybe Pat has been in China for the last
two months, etc.
Let's try to act like mature adults here, not tattle-tales.

Is it really that big of deal if a fly swap takes a few weeks longer to
complete?

Justin,
We haven't heard from you for a while. As a person who actively promoted
the last Fly Swap you were also one of several that flaked out without a
single response to many emails from Danny McMillin; swapmeister. He waited
an extra month but never heard anything. I, for one, was very disappointed
with Justin in particular. Also flaking out without ever responding to
emails was Pat Bolton; since he did not actively promote the Fly Swap he
gets fewer demerits. Greg Mindt also flaked out but at least he had the
courtesy to correspond. Overall I was very surprised at the lack of
responsibility and motivation on the part of these tiers. Danny did a super
job but I know he was put in a very frustrating and embarrassing position
because he had to explain to the others why there were delays and repeatedly
try to get the slackers to respond and fulfill their commitment. I hope
that this doesn't put the nix on future swaps but I also hope that people
will act like mature adults. This can be a really fun thing but everyone
has to do their part; it's simple really. Unfortunately, this situation
needed to be brought to the attention of the list.
Keith

Subject: Feathers from afar.
Awhile back ago I wrote an email to a bird rancher in the Mid East
somewhere. I asked him If I could buy some of the feathers from the birds
that he had. The feathers that just dropped out from everyday hustle and
bustle etc. I gave him my address and told him to send me whatever he could
and I would reimburse him for what ever I thought they were worth.
Well Out of the blue I received this package today filled with Bags 4 in
all, full of feathers.
I did a quick scan of these feathers and put them on a rinky dink free
website.

I have a few good Ideas on what to use the feathers for.
But I really don't know what I am gonna use them all for.
Any Ideas?
Justin
