.....I think the point Warren was trying to make, and it is a good one, is
that
guides are a relatively small component of the rod market. There are many,
many, more anglers than there are guides. The reason fly rod replacements
have increased is because of the increase in rod sales to the general
public, not to guides.

True.....very true. However, in fairness, I believe it should be made clear
that Warren was evidently also making another point.......that Mr. Sullivan
is a "dumbass". I think it is always a mistake in this forum to gloss over
such an accurate assessment made on the first try.

who realizes, of course, that it may have been a lucky guess but really, the
correct answer is of greater import than is the process by which it was
derived.
