C'mon, Joe, firm up! Tell 'em 37 or nuthin'. Crack that whip! :) If someone is tying 30, 37 isn't that far off. . . -- TL, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

The last guys to get their flies in are gonna get shafted. Then again, As Tim suggests, 37 ain't that much different than 30; and as the swapmeister, I *am* strongly suggesting that everybody tie the whole lot.

Ah, the life of a swapmeister :) Mine went out this morning Joe, but I scewed up and mailed 38, somehow that number stuck with me...I'll blame it on you. g Frank the first Church |

You only get into problems if more than 30 people tie the full complement and at least one person does not. So, either ask for a full complement from everybody, or try to keep the number who do only 30 flies 7 or greater (that is, *discourage* people from doing 37). I would opt with requiring the full 37. You should ask if there's anybody who absolutely won't do 37 and if it's less than 7, then panic. |

I promised I wouldn't require more than 30, & I gotta hold to that. But while we're talking about it, *are* there any swappers signed up who just won't tie 37? (You don't have to confess here in public, feel free to email me.) Screw the math & the hypotheticals; if there *is* a problem, I'll let everyone know. Frankly I can't imagine not being able to crank out another half dozen or so. Knowing how I tie, I need to do 60 to get 30 anyway. :-) Joe F. |
