Sandy?

As I scroll and delete I notice that Sandy hasn't posted here or to the
tying forum lately.

A thread about Hopper patterns without his comments on the best foam or use
of Superglue to attach inverted trailing hooks just seems naked g.

Hope you've just matured to the point of leaving UseNet behind, Sandy, and
are are well.

Pittendrigh left in a snit after he failed to reform roff
to his own standards of Usenet "maturity". You can email
him at Bozo U., (Montana State University, Bozeman), he's
in the book.

Last place I know that Sandy posted was alt.flyfishing and even there
his thread got flamed and finalized by some name calling by LaCourse.

Correction, Sandy posted to alt.flyfishing just a couple of days ago.

LOL !! The only "abuse" Pittendrigh suffered was poster
after poster telling him he was way off base in trying
to blame the decline of roff on one person.

If you have an example of me "abusing" Pittendrigh I'm
sure you'll post it, but in the absence of same it is
safe to assume that you're just lying again. When will
you ever learn Your Loony Mikeness, Google is *not* your
friend.

A a year or so ago I mentioned I'd noticed,
(on Google's group statistics) that several key groups
I occasionally read, like comp.lang.php, rec.boats.buidling
and rec.woodworking, were doing well. Their average
number of posts and readers was holding steady, pretty
close to what they were 5 years ago. But rec.outdoors.fishing.fly
was down 80 percent (and that was a year ago). It's probably even more
anemic now.
I've been seeing the same unchanging name list here for several years
now.

In that post I implied, somewhat indirectly, the constant taunting
from
Fortenberry had something to do with it. Several others said
they thought it had more to do with competition from moderated
forums, like the Washington Fly Fishers and many others.

Perhaps the two (competition from forums and acid reflex disease
caused primarily by Fortenberry) are two sides of the same coin.
Fortenberry's constant pain-in-the-ass baiting would be erased by
the moderator at those forums. Fortenberry couldn't exist there
even if he wanted to. The level of discussion is an order of magnitude
more informative and well educated too. Perhaps as a result
(of his absense, and others like him).

I still log in and read this group once or twice a week. But the
frequency
I do read this group will continue to dribble off, principally because
of the
group's current cyber bully jerk. If you go back and review the
group's posts,
over the past year or so, you'll see there are still a fair number
of reasonable, helpful participants. But there is seldom a week
goes by without a **** storm. And Dangleberry is not only always
in the thick of it, he is usually it's starting point.

It will be interesting to see how much longer the group's few
remaining
responsible readers last. There is an undeniable downhill spiral
in progress. The numbers cannot be disputed. The readership here
is now tiny compared to 5 or so years ago.

A large number of people agree with him.

Have you noticed Kennyboy? Google is not your friend. Hardly anybody
else is either.

That's a nice enough example of Pittendrigh on his pompous
high horse badmouthing me, and that's the post I was talking
about when I said poster after poster told him he was way off
base. As I recall practically nobody agreed with him.

So you're lying again, twice in the same thread and very
clumsily too. Congenital liars like you never learn, Google
is not your friend.
