um, Larry, my memory escapes me here. Were you subscribed to ROFF back when

here?? Or, when TBone(now Halfordian Golfer, really
Tim Walker) posted heavily regarding catch and release??
I stand by my description. The only thing changed, that I see, is a more
bitter set of exchanges at times regarding what I would call off-topic
political stuff. And that, to my mind, reflects the tone of debate prevalent
in the nation and the world in the past 5, maybe 10 years.

No, I'm post Gink era. Certainly the National Nastiness has be reflected
here. But neither "America, Love It or Leave It" or "ROFF, Love it or
leave it" impress me as thoughtful response to basically well meaning
criticism.

You did NOT say the latter, .... but I DID kinda read it that way, .... and
mumbled as I typed, "Common, Tom, anyone that 'keeps notes' on his fly
designs has to be less lame than that."

Thus my post above was a bit "knee jerk" and if there was a way I would have
deleted it soon after first posting and then "thinking" .... I sometimes get
the correct order mixed up. Sorry.

I got here in time for both. Nope, not much change, except for the
names and, occasionally, the choice of what the new names anally
espouse as different from what the old names did.

Gotta say I rather enjoyed the catch and kill versus catch and release
with little input from the catch and release until bored and then
catch and kill and take back for dinner.
