For crying out loud, give it a break. Who cares? The integrity of this
list is compromised far more by the endless and mindless banter than one
tiny faux pas that no one cares about. Please, let's pronounce this one
dead. Having the last word is not that important.

No, I think some other trees need to take more care to
ensure that the information disseminated via this list
is as accurate and precise as possible so as to not
potentially confuse or mislead those who are less
knowledgeable of the subtleties encompassed by
fly-fishing, fly-tying and all things thus related.
Anything less and the quality and integrity of the
entire list is compromised.
