Clark:

Thanks for straightening me out. One of the best ways to root
out good information--I've found--is to boldly speak with
authority about what you only know a little. Next thing
you know you get straightened right out.

RE "You're the first person I have met in 35 years trout fishing here
that even knew the Maori name"

....I live in Montana. I've learned a lot from my Crow, Blackfeet,
Northern Cheyenne, Flat Head and even Arapahoe friends over the years.
The Maoris I saw in New Zealand (I saw a Maori reggae band playing Bob
Marley songs on Waitangi day, in the park in Auckland) looked like old
friends. Next time I go to New Zealand I want so spend some time in Rotorua.
