When we meet eventually, you'll wonder if I'm the same guy. In person I
tend to be, er, on the quiet side. There have probably been clave attendees
who didn't even know I as AT the clave! But wind me up, ask me the right
(wrong?) question and look out! Wolfgang once asked me about how librarians
decide which books to remove from their collections. How long did that
conversation go on, Wolfgang? :-)

I meant to respond to this in detail but have exhausted myself in
replying to others. I fish in part because I've done it since early
childhood, in part to take an active part in the doings of the natural
world, in part for food, in part (I admit it) because it *is* fun. I
release many many more fish than I keep. (See my reply to jeff about
being a hypocrite.) Ah, the humanity..... g

I appreciate your replies to all of the posts. I think we agree on a whole
lot and I like the thought that you've obviously put into your ethos. And
your recognition of hypocrisy. :-) Part of my going on (and on) is because
I'm trying to distill, refine, hone these very arguments, and others,
because of similar discussions on the home front- daughter #1 has serious
ethical reservations about this past-time of ours. So think of yourselves
as a bunch of 12 year old girls.

Just the image I've had for the past several years!

If that were the case, then the flames and petty ****ing contests would
only occur once a month.

Nope. You need physical proximity to sync that stuff up.

Of course there's the option of thinking that women's cycles only
allow a brief few moments on the way up or down or around each month
that you could blame for it.

But that would sexist...

Well, yeah, when you're not ****ing people off by shouting things like "fish
on!"

hell...was that you on big snowbird last year? damn... g

while i have observed jr's toying with fish, i have also determined from
observation and personal interaction that he is certainly among the
higher order of the thoughtful, considerate, and rational humans i have
been privileged to meet (even though he didn't recite poetry...though i
feel certain he's a poet). anyone who transports fine beer from
washington state (or oregon?...yeah, yeah, i know...but it was good beer
from one of those left coast breweries) to cameron, montana solely at
the request of the ne'er-do-wells hereabout is simply too ... well, he's
easily the too-est...damn, the proper word eludes my inadequate
vocabulary, but i'm sure the all the "less-than-too" of y'all know what
i'm shooting for.

jeff (looking forward to some more sharing of the ethos...and beer)
