Well Lennie, I will never force you to read anything I post. No guns to
the head, no kidnappings, no coercion whatsoever.

I think I see your problem though, and it's a common one among uneducated
rural southern males. Your problem is resentment, Lennie. Resentment and
a barely disguised inferiority complex. At the same time the educated
classes are courting the votes of the "NASCAR Dads", the presumptive Dem
nominee points out that you're a bunch of hicks with confederate flags
on your pick up trucks. It would be hard not to resent being laughed at
by those you perceive as northern intellectual elites, but there it is
Lennie, what can you do ? Post nasty grams to Usenet ? Yeah, that'll work.

Gosh, you got me again. Can't argue with any of that. I guess I just don't
know my betters when I see one.

How's the blood pressure?

I will not mention I had this idea right after 911 and you guys thought I
was stupid.....

another marketing opportunity lost....

Has anybody ever hired this outfit ?

I went to a San Juan 'Clave one year and the airline lost my luggage,
a couple of fly rods, vest, waders, boots, the whole shebang off on
some magical mystery tour. Luckily I was able to spend the night in
a hotel close to the ABQ airport and the airline delivered the gear
in the middle of the night averting a costly disaster.

What with post 9-11 carry-on restrictions and the rest of the folderol,
I'm wondering if something like this might be worth it.

I have made a half dozen trips with gear since 9/11 and have had no
problems. My expierence has been that they will let you lock your checked
luggage after it has gone through the x-ray machine. Also if you use a
SKYCAP, they can get your locked luggage through with no problem.
I pack my carry on so that I can go fishing when I get there without any of
my checked luggage..requires a seven piece rod. Only exception, is that you
cannot carry flies in a carry-on. I make sure that I have an hour or more
at each connection. I have also found that they will now let you carry a
four piece rod as your personal item. At least on Continental!
I now buy my ticket using a Citibank Mastercard that gives me $3000 of
insurance for LOST luggage. Most other insurance, including household, is
for STOLEN luggage; you have to prove that it is stolen, not misplaced.
