FS2004 - One week update

[rb608]

Okay, so it's really 9 days. The progress of the signup and a few questions
from swappers have led me to make a change to the guidelines, notably the
number of flies to me tied and the method of sorting/distribution:

The required number remains at 30 max. The signup is more than 30 at this
point; but I am doubtful it will go high enough to justify a split into two
groups.

For tyers submitting 30: The fly sorting/distribution will be in a "round
robin" method, and each participant will get 30 flies at random from the
larger pool.

OTOH: If you hold out for the final count (I'm guessing between 30 & 40),
you may elect to tie the entire amount at your discretion. As promised, I
won't require more than 30; but if you're easily tempted to tie a few more,
it's up to you. Tyers submitting the full amount will, of course, get one of
each from everybody.

Everybody will get the same number of flies as before, the change mostly
afect only the way I'm going to work it on this end; but I do want to give
anyone wanting to the opportunity to "stretch" their quantity if the wish.
Once the final signup count is in, I'll see who wants to go all the way &
who wants to stop at 30.

The current count: 33:

Is it too late to make a New Year's Resolution to make at least one post
with less than 3 typos?

and how come I don't see them until after I hit Send?

You didn't make the typos. The missing letters got stuck in the Echelon
filters. Send an email to the NSA demanding your missing letters back.

With some of the stuff I've been posting lately, that's frighteningly
believable. :-)

OK, sign me up for the full count of #4/0 Blackbeard. It's a deadly
pike fly I designed that should catch big bass and has caught Silver
Salmon.

I tried to resist, but I just can't.
