Remind you of any other inventors you know?

I think it is an end result of struggling with the dcevelopement of new
ideas and the inevitable rejection one receives for one's ideas when trying
to get them accepted and produced. You have to project positive attitude
and confidence about your products no matter what anybody else says or you
go nuts. Your buddy Bob Rickard commented in a slightly different manner in
this NG not to long ago about another slightly irritating inventor. Neither
you nor I need to like them, but I think it shows us to be better people if
we atleast take the effort to understand that. Even Bob who seems to be a
pretty good guy comes off a little over strong sometimes. Bob is just a
little better at dealing with it than some others.

That's true. I have a combo-c-lector that I tinkered with, and it was
interesting but not particularly useful. When I tried using it, I paid
less
attention to much more important variables. Anyone want a free
combo-c-lector? I haven't opened it for about eight years, after getting
it
back from a trip to the repair shop. You pay the postage, and it's yours,
free.

One a related note.... I had the dubious pleasure of meeting ol' Doc Hill
this past summer. I don't know if it was his usual manner or if he was
just
irritated at the time, but I was underwhemed. I spent some time doing him
a
favor, and he impressed me with his towering egotism. I usually find it
easy
to get along with anyone and enjoy meeting people who have made an impact
on
the fishing tackle industry, but I was relieved to turn him over to his
hosts. I'm not at all surprised by his former boss's assessment.

If you think it helps you catch more fish, then it will. You'll work your
bait better, and have more confidence.

If you think it's a bunch of hooey, then that's what it is also.

Pay attention to Da' Man!

As usual, Rich has put forward exactly the right, relevant, solid,
hard data into a discussion which could (and probably will) degenerate
into pure personal preference.

But ain't it fun!
