Stam,

". . . the self appointed keepers of the true faith . . ."

And this would be you, right? I mean, you've fly fished all of what, once? Yet here you are, monitoring the goings on of fly fishing, contributing to our high brow, high falutin' fly fishing discussions, in a strictly and consistently negative manner. And my list is my list. Yours is yours and is in no way a rebuttal, and calling it that sounds defensive. What's to defend? There's nothing to rebutt. Your list, should you compile one, is irrelevant to me.

Dan,

No ziinnnnngggg noticed or felt. My sensibilities must be numb. That, or Stam's ascot has choked off my air supply and thence my nerves.

And to think tying a Skunk in Intruder style caused all this! It could only be better if we were all juiced up.
