As one whose fishing frequency hovers around "rarely", I'd have very little to contribute. Joe F. |

Some people find this looney bin overwhelming, and some find it invigorating. One of those groups is missing something. For those inclined to organize their lives around the principle of a perceived need to be punished, a place devoted exclusively to polite discussion of fly fishing will do as well as any other, I suppose. And there is no arguing the obvious fact that many people evince a genuine....and even desperate....need for protection from the ravages of "rec.outdoors.flyfishing." Wolfgang who will nevertheless confess that the notion of hell as a refuge still leaves at least one reader somewhat bemused. |

Everyone on that site is so polite and afraid to step on the toes of the owners/administrators that it sometimes seems to be a fantasyland. The owners, however, have very strong opinions and, as Tom notes, are not afraid to get up on the soapbox and rant. I occasionally visit FAOL, and get the feeling I am on the "Stepford Flyfishing Site". |

http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/v...ic.php?t=16943 (see 1st response) :) So, what with puttering around in the yard, cooking, a short road trip, laundry, house cleaning and catching up a bit on long overdue reading, I just now got around to reading that whole thread. My first reaction was to come here and suggest that all of the participants should be gutted and emasculated (in no particular order). And then I got distracted and thought, "Hey, wait a minute, maybe I should see about shipping some coal to Newcastle instead!" Wolfgang who was also considering a comment on the real world utility of illiterate censors but, for the obvious reasons, will forbear. |
