In the context of ROFF maybe, but claves amongst the various electronic
fly fishing groups were going on long before ROFF had it's first
*official* clave.


true enough, I attended a few amongst CompuServe types way back.....

That's right, 'Clave is an abbreviated form of Conclave.

Stems from the Nahuatl "conclavatl" meaning camaraderie, drinking, dunking
and occasional fishing.

I looked up the definition in the dictionary, but the entries I've found
we
1. past tense of cleaver
2. A cylindrical hardwood stick used in a pair as a percussion instrument.
3. A syncopated two-bar musical pattern.

I'm assuming it means gathering?

Actually, 3 sounds about right...

I *love* this job!: http://css.sbcma.com/timj/acronyms/

I just looked at that list for the first time. Nice job. Tim!

However.........you knew it was coming.......right?..... :)

IIRC, HWMNBN has only ever been applied to a single specific
individual within this group.......thus far, anyway. A brief
explanation of the circumstances might not be entirely out of
order......one need not necessarily even name HWMNBN.

I await your definition. . . I am but the keeper.

I don't recall whether the acronym "POTY" has ever been used here,
but I'm fairly certain that the expression it abbreviates has. A
possible candidate for inclusion?

I've seen it used on other groups as "program of the year", but I'm
assuming, for ROFF purposes, you mean "post of the year".

I understand the limitations of space, and the definition of "SPLORK
VANG MU" is accurate and witty enough, but it seems to me that a
fuller exposition of the peculiar relevance to ROFF (as well as due
recognition of the roles of the principals) might make it even
better....

This goody came into play before my arrival here. I'll need
enlightenment.

....um........OMN.

That *must* stand for Walter, 'cause we all know Wolfgang isn't your

Yes, I'm planning on attending the Sandy River Spey Clave on May 14-15,
along the Washington/Oregon border. I believe there will be a few Roffians
there, sounds like a lot of fun.

I may make it there this year. Padishar Creel and I talked about going, but
something distracted us last year. Oh yeah, the river walk in San Antonio
called and I just had to visit.

That would have been me then :(. I only asked Tom that because I used
to do a few of the compuserve gatherings. I remember Harry Mason as
posting frequently to the Compuserve forum but I don't remember Tom
posting there.
