He should just tell us the truth.

On the way home from his friend's house (you know, the guy who had the flies
for two months) he got pulled over by a cop who asked him to help save a few
people from a burning building nearby. Well, they went and saved the
people, mostly elderly, and he forgot all about the midges which were in his
backpack in the back seat of the cop car.

He went down to the precinct to recover the backpack and learned that the
cop had been shot during a meth lab bust, and was so rattled that he'd
retired and moved to Costa Rica.

The flies are on the way from Costa Rica and Matt will send them out to us
when he gets them!

but I've also made a few friends. Yeah,
it would have been nice to see everybody's midges, but I look at the $7 and
2 hours that I invested as dues paid. I think I got a pretty good deal.



More than not getting the flies, it's the getting ripped off that
bothers me. Like you say, small thing in the scheme of things but it is
irritating.

aka the 2003 midge swap.

I guess we can forget about those ? At least I havent heard or seen
anything to or from Matt in quite
a while.


Yes, and it looks like I wasted my time for the latest FS2004 swap
also. I tied my butt off to get them off early before I had to leave
on business (lost package)!

I quit these things for good!


Must be bad karma. I've never had a problem.


Nah - I sent them to the wrong and only address that I knew of and
they showed up. All is well Tim! Sorry for my bitchin'

Good, as I don't think midges will work for sail fish as far as I know
;-)
