Wont work this time scumbag. Obviously the man has character. he also
has a lot more clout than you, and it seems his members and friends
support him.


Hi Mike:
You and I are on opposite sides of this one in many ways.

Although I am prone to agree that the siteadmin is probably a fairly
nice guy who was trying to do the best for his subscribers, and I
don't endorse Ken's assertion that this is just a ploy to boost
exposure for his advertisers, there are still a couple of inherent
problems with what the admin is doing. That he is unaware of them and
is belligerantly ignoring our explanations makes him either a bully or
a jackass, and in either case, its deliberate. THAT is what makes him
less than a 'nice guy', IMNSHO.

Despite your desire to see roff die a (much deserved?) death, having
the usenet subscribers worldwide get inbox-bombed with what is
essentially spam from an unknowing chat group is not really the way to
do it, and it won't work. Instead of two populations of fly fishermen
who might otherwise have some intermingling and share some stories,
etc, we are generating two camps of people who are acting more and
more irrational and childish, pretty much ****ing on each of their own
chat groups to spite the other. And we have you fueling the
flames. :-)

Anyway, this whole dynamic is both entertaining, bizarre and
frustrating, and in the words of one we all know and love (OWAKAL),
"and yet, here we are."

TL, amigo. Hope to cast a fly with you sometime soon.
