New Sage reel problem.

Well thanks for the replies. It's a shame , I'm ...well..rather
"financially challenged", and made a decision based on name and
reputation and I'm sure it's a rare case. But I'm calling sage
um...often and leaving messages getting nowhere. I'm sure it's not a
priority to deal with a guy who bought one of their low end reels. But
you live and learn I'll keep trying and get to the bottom of it or
fish it till it freezes...Hopefully they will return my calls.
Thanks,
Brian


I'm curious as to what number you are calling? When i've called, I
always get to talk to a person, and have never needed to leave a
message. Maybe you're trying after Sage business hours? Or maybe i'm
just lucky? ;-)

Call back and tell him you're from the Chamber of Commerce...and if that
doesn't work, call back and tell them you're the senior partner in the
"Rusty Reels" section at Fulbr...er, actually, no, don't do that...

All he's got to do is threaten to post a note about his problems on
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/Flycorner?hl=en the most widely
read, most authorative fly fishing site in the world. Sage will send
him two or three new reels rather than challenge the power behind that
web site.

Yeah, that works every time. ;-)

Apparently Bill is the only guy at Sage who deals with reels.
I have an old Sage 5400 and I had a few questions about it so
I was directed to Bill. He took awhile getting back to me but
he did return email.

His Silly Mikeness, he got tired of talking to himself.

OK, I did something I rarely do, and visited the link. And in doing so,
I saw another link (from one of the few other posters to the "group,"
another "Mike") that looked interesting, and thought, hey, what the
hell, in for a penny, in for a pound...

And here's why, at least for a time, I'll just revert to my policy of "I
don't visit other fishing groups, VBBs, etc.":

http://www.archive.org/details/MikeL...sForFlyFishing

(It's a work-safe video with sound)

I'll reserve comment, other than "it should speak for itself,"
R
....on second thought...one comment: "Maybe 'Shooting Heads - the Plastic
Worm of Fly Fishing Lines' will be next in the series..."

Hey dumbo,

that is a discussion group, not a website. It has only been on line
for a month or so, is mainly concerned, to date, with a specific type
of fly- fishing, and I don´t want dumbos on there anyway, they merely
waste other people´s time.

The quite simple rules, as stated on the home page, would preclude
many on ROFF using it in any case.

Have you ever managed to post a single message, here or anywhere else,
which was not full of mistakes? Quite apart from extremely silly and
gratuitous insults, mostly connected with matters about which you are
obviously woefully ignorant.

Before one leaps aboard various bandwagons, one should first ascertain
whether any of the occupants can play, as otherwise one merely
contributes to the general dissonance.

Trumpeters are especially prone to this.

That link is not from my group, or even remotely connected with it. It
is the result of your stupidity, and inability to operate a simple
interface on a media site.

Try again dumbo.

OK, just to be totally fair, I did. And guess what? Not only is that
video reachable from your little group, it was _you_ who posted the
link. I didn't dig around the first time, and simply thought that you
were member "Mike Connor" and the other member, "Mike," was not only a
different member, but the (self-promoting) "Mike Lindsey" in the video,
since the post was from "Mike," not "Mike Connor." But it turns out
that you are both "Mike Connor" AND "Mike." Again, it should speak for
itself:

(What you see on the "short list", showing posted by member "Mike,"
rather than member "Mike Connor," on Aug 3.)

"Some of the really top books available for free here, ( which I found
out while looking for something else, and after spending three weeks
typing some books into my computer! Dohhhhhhh!).

http://www.archive.org/search.php?qu...ies%2C%20Artif...
(sic)

Search also on "fishing".

First class scans, and various options, also the ful text as text!"

However, when you go to the "full view," you see a signature added:

"TL
MC"

and when one clicks on the link to "fly fishing" on the page _you_
posted, one goes to:

http://www.archive.org/search.php?qu...y%20fishing%22

and there, the direct link I posted is (at least currently) the first
"really top book" I also found it interesting that listed directly on
the link you posted is at least one "really top book" you dismissed as
nonsense when I referred to it some years back as evidence you, yet
again, were not the last word on all things fishing.

Try again dumbo,

Well dumbo, when one posts a link to a media site which refers to
books, one assumes that the people who will use such a link will have
the sense to enter the media type in the search box.

Of course, dumbos don´t possess the required sense to do this.

http://www.archive.org/search.php?qu...iatype%3Atexts

What you posted years ago, was largely the same rubbish you keep
posting today, so I don´t bother even reading it usually. Probably
not many other people here do either. You post more off topic crap
than anybody else.
