If that's an apology, we don't tolerate that here.


I would rather have a full body massage from Cindy
Crawford than apologize on roff.

o.k., let me say a few things about my post.
first- i may have set a false tone by accidentally omitting my intended
question mark in the subject heading. i was "asking a question" purely
in
fun-related to joking around that took place at work.

secondly, i already have a feeling that this may be a sensitive
subject,
even with the few responses i have seen thus far.
certainly it was not my intention to offend anyone, and i hope i
haven't.

. . . and since WHEN have you worried about broaching a sensitive subject?

an apology my ass- nope- just a moment's introspection prior to returning my
daughter to the home she shared with her so recently deceased boyfriend, and
being concerned as to the road ahead of her. you see, i felt my mental
energies should be steered toward the truly important subject at hand.
therefore, it was an attempt to ward off any bull**** that i just didn't
care to deal with.

snakefiddler- an apology my ass ;-)
and ****- seems most everything i post ends up beng a sensitive subject G

No we are not elitists. Elitists *think* they're better than other
people. Flyfishers *know* we're better than other fishermen.

Insufferable pricks is probably a more acurate description.

I'n not even sure what 'elitist' means in this context. I know that, when
I'm going flyfishing, and loading up my gear, I secretly hope someone seees
me and that they think "wow, he's a flyfisherman! That's something!" I
know that I feel that way when I'm loading up, and I feel it even more
when I'm gearing up. Putting on the vest with all those doo-dads that I know
the use of, assembling the rod and stringing it up the right way, tying on
a fly using one of those special knots that I had to learn. I posted once
about watching a salmon fisherman in northern Norway tying on his salmon
fly, and watching the care and pride he displayed as he tied on a surgeon's
knot, then cut it off because it wasn't *just perfect*...I know he was
feeling that 'special feeling' that I get when I'm fishing. I remember
feeling it in another context: when I'm rigging my raft in the Grand Canyon,
knowing where every single strap and buckle is, where every single orange,
bandaid, hex key, carabiner and raisin is in the boat. Knowing all the moves
in all the rapids, all the places to camp and hike, being able to accurately
predict the water levels the next day as well as the temperatures that
night. It's not elitism, its just a definate, warm, innate pride in knowing
how to do something a little bit technical, something that takes a touch of
skill, a touch of luck, and a touch of perseverence. It's not elitist,
because anyone is welcome to be there with me.

Thing is, most of we 'run-of-the-mill' flyfisherman don't know if
you're using a $50.00 flyrod or a $500.00 flyrod. So what it boils
down to is; one elitist flyfisherman trying to impress another
elitiest flyfisherman. I guess you could, like Minnie Pearl, (you
probably don't remember her.) leave the price tags on.

We should all know our gear, inside/out; expensive or inexpensive.

Not that I disagree with your position, but Minnie Pearl was not at all who
most people think she was.
