Any posts about flyfishing ???

One of my favorite roffian arguments, and it's my favorite because

last dot.

Should roff displayed on a T-shirt read R.O.F.F. or R.O.F.F ?

ROFF makes sense, as does R.O.F.F. What's the argument for R.O.F.F ?

Is ROFF actually short for something or just a term used in the way you
describe above ?

Rec.Outdoors.Fishing.Fly - R.O.F.F. - the name of this newsgroup

Think of ROFF as the pot bellied stove in the back of a fly shop with
a bunch of chairs around it. Fly fishers stop by from time to time and
pull up a chair to chew the fat but more than likely they will not
talk about fly fishing a lot. A bunch of folks will stand back away
from the stove, content to listen to the discussion but will offer a
comment once in a while. When they're not interested in the topic
they'll walk up front & test a rod or just leave & come back tomorrow,
as will many of the folks at the stove.
This is where fly fisher folk hang out when they are not fly fishing
to talk about all the issues that interest them and if a non-fishing
subject comes up they will talk/argue about it with the same fervor
they argue about the fly fishing topics.

Got a fly fishing question? Just ask and it will be answered.
Got a political comment? Just make it and, like most free ranging
discussion around this pot bellied stove, it will too be knocked about
and discussed.


See thats tottally fine with me. The regional usenet i normally have
been visiting just works very differently. Believe it of not i wasnt
trying to rock the boat :-)

rare

I visited earlier today and only had to delete 37 off topic posts to read the
three that were about flyfishing.
