If you don´t conform you are more or less beyond the pale.

Different strokes for different folks. You think that if we do not
conform to YOUR advice we are a bunch of lost souls. Not true. The
Benchside Ref Manual is THE authority for just about anything to do
with tying. You should buy one. There IS a right and a wrong way of
tying in herl. The newbie should learn the correct way. If he wants
to experiment, fine, but he should learn the basics, the orthadox
methods first.

I don´t think anything of the sort, but my saying so will not affect
your perception of anything, and even the attempt would be futile.

Quite sad really, for a very long time I respected a lot of people
here, and was indeed anxious to learn from you. In point of fact I
learned quite a lot, but not what I expected or hoped.

Regardless of what you might think, I bear you no malice. I am getting
old, and coming ever more to the realisation that many things are
quite pointless. It is not your fault that you are a fool, it is just
how it is. Doubtless you will see that as an insult. It really does
not matter.

Whatever you do, try to enjoy yourself, your fishing, your life, your
family.

I wish you well Mr.LaCourse, mainly because I have no sensible grounds
for wishing you otherwise.
