Of course, I'd rather apologize on ROFF than spend 12 minutes, let
alone 12 days, with either you or LaCourse.

For the life of me, I do not understand your motivation in hijacking
this thread from abpf, crossposting to roff, and writing this gem. It
seems like you're stirring the pot of bitterness to bring the worst
to the surface, but maybe I'm wrong and there is another reason.
Could you please explain?

It's very simple. The thread took a turn away from the Middle Fork and
toward how much it costs for a major fishing trip.
snipped understandable part

Now I'll admit that I probably shouldn't have included the dig at
Fortenberry and LaCourse that you quote, but that wasn't really my
point. They insist on insulting me and calling names, so I'm not going
to lose any sleep over it.

Got it. So you *were* just stirring the pot of bitterness. Too bad.
Someone should throw that spoon and the entire cauldron away.

Look at the level of invective and bitterness being spewed by
Fortenberry and LaCourse and get back to me.

You can believe anything you want, Tim. It's a free country. Everyone
knows that I don't get along with Fortenberry and LaCourse, and I'm
hardly alone in that regard, but my motive for crossposting that message
was simply to bring up the topic of cheap, self-guided, and let's say
"extreme" fishing trips. I could have done it in a better way, and I
regret including the dig.

I think it's "too bad" either way it flows and have said so.

FWIW (and it ain't much), I think better of you since you regret the
dig.

Good grief, wise up Timmmmmay, the only reason the putz
regrets the dig is because he got called on it.

One of those lame-assed fishing forum things

http://www.hookandsinker.com/forum/index.php

takes posts from Usenet and represents them as actual
forum traffic for the purpose of attracting advertisers.
The bass fishing group is all fired up about it.

I can't help but think that the occasional tirade of
invective and acrimony is actually good for roff. Nobody
would expect to attract advertisers by taking credit for
some of the things I have to post about the putz. ;-)

Sometimes getting called on something causes reflection, so I can't hold
that against someone. You get called on plenty. Have you ever expressed
regret? Try it; you'll like it. ;-)

I don't have a lot of regrets and the ones I have
are of things I didn't do, not of things I've done.
Hell, if I was gonna regret it I wouldn't have done
it in the first place. ;-)

I think you're right - most of my regrets are for things I didn't do. In
the heat of summer I regret not fishing more when the air was cooler,
and in the dead of winter I regret not fishing more when it was warmer.
I regret not telling the people I love how much I do, and telling them
more often. But, I regret having some not-nice conversations with people
no longer reading or posting here (you regulars can BMIA) and I regret
running off some newbies before I really knew who they were. There's a
lot more, but I'd probably regret posting it. . .

So I don't regret it later, I appreciate this group a great deal. When I
last went fishing a week ago, I was thinking that nearly everything I
was using and every action I took to catch some very nice fish was a
result of being here, getting good advice, and meeting some way-cool
people. I get to live vicariously through the TR's of people visiting
places that I can now picture. ROFF rules! But I digress. . .
