Mike,

Although you will likely take this as an attack on you it isn't intended as
such. Please read your statement above, and then objectively read the last
100 or so of your responses to Lacourse, Fortemberry, et al. If you can be
at all objective you just might understand why many reading this thread see
you as exhibiting that same behavior even though you only attribute it to
them.

Don't store your leaders coiled. Put a couple of wire nails about 10-12
feet/3-4m apart in a climate-controlled room and use plastic coated
paperclips and rubber bands to store them.


Well, sure, that's good enough as far as it goes.......but what about
stopping neutrinos?

who knows that one ignores entropy at one's peril.



I don't know about neutrinos but one of the guys on the WI MB just
emailed me asking for your leader formula Wolf. It was Jeremy, the
Brit. He tried one at Avalanche a few years ago and they impressed
him. He says that he's approaching perfection and they just might push
him over the edge.


Ah yes, the secret formula! They'll have to pry it out of my cold dead
brain! There is no power on Earth that can make me reveal that I start with
a hunk of cheap 30 lb. nylon mono about 30 inches long (or somewhere in that
neighborhood, anyhow) and then work down through 20 lb., 15, 12, 10, 8, and
6 (all of which are the cheapest nylon mono I can lay my hands on*) with
each successive piece being 2/3 the length of the previous chunk until we
reach ten inches or so, after which any remaining are tied at that length
(all lengths being "finished" lengths....after knots at both ends are
completed......remember to make appropriate allowances). I use the
Surgeon's Knot, three turns for the big stuff, four for the smaller.

This formula is doubtless the result of many years of painstaking research,
calculation, experimentation and whatnot all by someone with a great deal of
dedication and determination. I found it somewhere or other a long time
ago. It worked. Never bothered to look at any others.

Tell Jeremy I says hello and if we ever meet up again and he casts better
than me, he owes me something or other. :)

I am aware of that. What other people see is not my problem. I
offered sensible advice, and was attacked as a result.

It is quite obvious, that some people donīt like my advice. Now, if it
were true that it was bad advice, or false information, the people
involved would have no trouble at all in refuting it. But they donīt
even try to refute it, or enter into any sensible discussion on the
matter, they merely engage in personal attacks.

The people who take my advice, or find the information I provide
useful, attribute it to me, and that is all I care about.

This is a fishing newsgroup, where quite a few people still come for
help and advice. I will do my best to provide it on matters where I
feel competent to do so.

What others do is their affair, and I have no control over it.

While I do not consider what you wrote an "attack", it is interesting
to note that you directed your attentions in this regard only to me.
Although you admit that you see others exhibiting the "same"
behaviour.

Donīt you think that is just a smidgeon one-sided?

You cannot tolerate any disagreement whatsoever and anyone
who does disagree is immediately accused, in filthy language,
of engaging in personal attacks no matter how politely the
disagreement is voiced. You cannot see the obvious hypocrisy
in your complaining about "personal attacks" when you engage
in the most egregious foul-mouthed invective and interminable
vicious slanders of anyone on this newsgroup.

Your advice to a newbie to buy a cheap fly line and cut it
into pieces was bad advice. Instead of engaging in a civil
discussion you took the opportunity to engage instead in
several days worth of frantic personal attacks all the while
complaining that anyone who thought your advice was bad was
"attacking" you personally.

Take a step back, look at your own loony online behavior and
perhaps you'll discover why you've become an object of ridicule
and a T-shirt joke on roff. Or perhaps not.

More tactics Kenny Boy?

None of you have even attempted to disagree as such. You merely say
"the advice is bad", the "information is wrong", without giving any
reason for those statements. Or you attempt to hold me personally to
ridicule, even going to the extent of starting threads for that
express purpose. The people who have actually tried my advice, are
well aware that it works very well.

Every few posts, you insist that I will not accept disagreement. That
is absolute rubbish. LaCourse, Dickie boy, and you, invariably engage
in personal attacks. It is apparently in your nature. I donīt care
what you think Kenny boy, and I rather doubt that many other people
do. For somebody like you to accuse people of using invective, or
engaging in personal attacks, is a very bad joke.

You also keep saying that I have become an object of ridicule. Only by
you and your dumb cronies Kenny boy. Nobody else has gone to such
lengths, or used such means as you have to discredit somebody. It wont
work Kenny boy. You would be well advised to stick to discussing
whatever it is you wish to discuss here, football or music or whatever
else, and leave me alone. Nothing you say will make any difference to
me, and it is unlikely that it will make much difference to anybody
else.

I have constantly made the mistake of treating you and others as
normal decent human beings, and the fact that I saw you as such,
allowed you to provoke me. Now I see you for what you are, An
inadequate failure, who needs to browbeat others in order to boost his
own ego. LaCourse is just a harmless nutcase, and Dickie boy is a
weirdo.

As Mr.Weinberger pointed out, people see these things in various ways,
and there is absolutely nothing I can do about that, but a few people
are perfectly well aware of what is happening. What I can do, is
refuse to knuckle under to you or anybody else, give calm, quiet,
sensible and civil advice on matters where I think I can be of help,
or add to discussions where the subject matter interests me.

There is nothing you can do about that Kenny boy. Eventually people
will get so sick of your constant harping and bull****, that they will
ignore you completely. The sooner the better.

No, just sincere, sensible advice which I accurately predicted
would give you the opportunity to engage in yet another round
of long-winded personal attack.

Of course you predicted it Kenny boy, apart from being the fount of
all wisdom, you are also a prophet of no mean skill.

Telling me I am an a object of ridicule, is really excellent sincere
and sensible advice.

Taking various things out of context and twisting them to insult or
discredit me is really excellent sincere and sensible advice.

You are a complete fraud Kenny boy, just about everything you write is
a lie.

Nearly everybody here is aware of that Kenny boy, which is why most
people ignore you already. Wont be long before the rest do as well.
