Can fly lines go "bad" on the shelf?

In the fullness of geologic time, even planets will go bad......if
they aren't properly stored. That's really the key to the issue.
Keep the line in its original container or, preferably, in an airtight
bag, keep it away from solvents, excessive heat, light.....especially
sunlight....and continental subduction zones. It should keep for many
years.

The matter of tippet material is somewhat more controversial. With
its thin diameter and relatively high surface area to mass ration, it
doesn't take nearly as long for oxidation or evaporation to do
significant damage. That said, I've successfully used stuff that's
been around for a few years as long as it was stored with the above
criteria in mind.

In other words, no.

Our hero, keen senses ablaze, detects a thread in imminent danger of
remaining informative and uncontroversial. True to his nature and
faithful to the expectations of his adoring fans, he throws caution to
the winds and assumes unto himself the awesome responsibility for
forestalling such an unconscionable and otherwise surely inevitable
disaster.

In other words, good God you are stupid.

Thus effectively putting a name to one of the distinctions between us.

Know what I mean?

o.k., let's watch closely and see what he learns.

So this is the adult version of "I'm rubber, you're glue?"

Sure, you can call it that, if you like. But doing so doesn't really help
us with the question of by what name we shall know a deliberate attempt to
be offensive and, more particularly, such an attempt, for no apparent
reason, in what had previously been a perfectly civil discourse. I'd
appreciate any insight you may have to offer......teacher.

Oh, I suppose you'd be much more qualified to tell us that, Wolfgang. What
do you suggest?

By claiming 'a perfectly civil discourse', I assume you are not referring
to your post in Padishar's thread, then? By your own self-admission, that
post was guaranteed to offend, and came up in a perfectly civil discourse.
