As near as I can tell I've been on ROFF longer than everyone
else (who posts regularly) except daytripper.

I don't really fish much anymore since moving to the desert.
(which is probably why I still read ROFF). Rather, a donkey,
a mule, and a horse provide our more regular recreation these
days, and hunting is helping fill the fishing voids.

The best thing ROFF did for me was save me from being brainwashed
into the catch and release "ethic". I had not kept a fish for
a while when TimW started a few years of sometimes raucous
discussion on C+R. I now heartily enjoy fresh fish when I can :-)

Go to a clave if you get the chance. There's a lot of good people
on ROFF. I went to the 2000 San Juan clave and met some really
nice people, and I'm very sorry that I haven't been able to make
the later San Juan claves.

I'm still trying to figure out Willi's fascination with Fruit
Loops.

Bruiser if you are reading, I'm gettin' really close to *needing*
a trip to the Penasco. Actually, this reminds me to send mail to
a couple of guys down here to see if there up for it.

As I recently mentioned, my #1 unfulfilled flyfishing dream is to
catch a tarpon.

My most realistic chance-to-be-fulfilled flyfishing wish right now
is to fish the Green river. A friend down here came back last year
with some awesome reports.

A CWRUClave in Stanley would be way cool but we'd have to do some
long range planning. Realistically I'd be looking at 2005 or 2006.

Carp _can_ save the day.

Jon.

Not even close. I've been here from Day 1, in fact mine was one of
the votes cast to create the new Usenet newsgroup. This is a post
from the first weeks of roff.

Nope, although it was closer than I thought. That wasn't my first post
to roff, according to Google this one was:

I think Dave Bottom (flyfish) got one in on the first day, he still posts
occasionally, Jon mentioned daytripper and of course TBone.

OK, so according to Google roff started on May 17, 1994 and I didn't
make a post until the 19th. What can I say, I must've been fishing
at the time. ;-)

Tim's bio call is a little slow gettin' off the ground here. Maybe some
of the newcomers are shy(?) and the oldtimers are too tired g.
Perhaps this will help:

I think people are typing their complete bio, but they're just hitting the wrong
