I suppose clever is as clever does.

If you want to discuss the relative merits of particular flies and
materials, I will be quite happy to do so, but I will not engage in any
fencing with you, it is absolutely pointless.

In point of fact I did not say that Joe´s Hopper doesn´t work very well.

That fly does not work very well...

Ah! My mistake. I thought you said, "That fly does not work very well..."

Yes, of course you will.

No, of course you won't.

You thought right, but the fly in the link is not a Joe´s Hopper, it is
a variation with a chenille or wool body.

Sorry about the e-mail. G-mail is acting up and I had to use another
account, was incorrectly set up.

Ah! My mistake. I thought the label up near the top of the page.....the
one that says, "Joe's Hopper".....referred to the fly pictured on that page,
the fly that looks just like the Joe's Hoppers I used to to tie.....and
use.....quite successfully.

it is
a variation with a chenille or wool body.

Oh dear, outfoxed again!

Some things are quite frustrating. I can´t figure out why people might
prefer humble bull**** to simple facts.

It says "India" on many car tyres, but they don´t all come from there.

As you yourself have pointed out on several occasions, the bulk of the
readers and writers in r.o.f.f. are American. It should come as no surprise
that we communicate in American English.

In discussing "Trailing"

He essentially said "one sometimes uses the term dragging, it not
particularly well known (our used) in America but almost everyone here
(europe) uses it.

Just to clear things up."

I prefer the Umqua parachute hopper myself

Ain't it the truth?

But you have no trouble at all pretending to believe they prefer pompous
bull**** (and outright lies) to either. Go figure.

It says "India" on many car tyres, but they don´t all come from there.

The only way to know what or why the might prefer something is to ask
them, or attempt to discover it from what they write. Of course, that
presupposes that they even know what they prefer and why, and that
they are capable of expressing it, or even understanding the question,
sadly not often the case with some here.

You calling me a liar does not make it so.

I don´t pretend to believe anything.

Pompous or otherwise, which incidentally is mostly in the mind of the
reader, especially in this medium, facts are facts, and bull**** is
bull****.

Quite apart from anything else, it really is quite funny when you,
Fortenberry, or a couple of others, hold forth on pomposity,
especially in the pompous manner to which you are apparently
accustomed.
