Default Save the Environment Use Bamboo!

We're fly fishermen, we care about the environment, yet most of fish
with graphite fly rods. As a group we're freeking hypocrites! Think
about it graphite is not friendly to the environment, leave your fly
rod out in the weather for 20 years, the cork, wood, and metal will
eventually degrade but the rod itself will still be there, just like
any other plastic! And we all know landfill space is at a premium.

When armageddon comes and we're all dead, your cane rods will bio
degrade so that whatever higher class of animal evolves from the
resulting event won't have to clean up more plastic and might even get
a few more drops of fuel from the disolved cane. (who needs dinosaurs)

Everyone but Barnard knows that a good cane rod is more forgiving to
the caster's imperfections, is a better fish fighting tool, and most
are made by skilled craftsmen or hobbyist with a love for transforming
pieces of grass into a fine fishing tool. So what if they might a
little more and cost a little more. What's a little extra weight and
saving your pennies weighted against the gains to the environment? Even
ROFF's number 1 penny pincher took the plunge last year and ordered
one!

Take the pledge, recycle your graphite fly rods into Patagucci's latest
fleece jackets and pants, use cane, its environmentally friendly.

If you want to post in THIS forum, you should at least have
the courtesy to do like the rest of us and put your posts
BENEATH the posts to which you are replying, otherwise you're
just a rude, stupid, lazy, top-posting ****tard.

Which description, while well deserved and apt is still way
too much to type every time some pertinacious prick top posts.

So the question is this:

Should "rude, stupid, lazy, top-posting ****tard" be

RSLTPF

or should we save precious electrons and make it

RSLTF

Vote early and vote often. ;-)

well, top posting is an innocent succussion (got that from a physician's
notes) made sublime by your personal reaction...

as in most pertinacious ****ing contests, the "p" is wasted and
unnecessarily consumes energy and space. i'd go with the "rsltf"... i'm
thinking about using it on a t-shirt.

Speaking of whom......Becky just got a letter (honest to God snail mail
letter!) from the estimable Ms. Miller. Now, I've been out in the world a
time or two, so I know that there is nothing unusual about being
complimentary when speaking of new friends......and especially when speaking
TO them......but good lord! If half the things she said are true, she likes
us better than we do. Um.......well, she hasn't known us as long. At any
rate, we're thinking of hiring her as our publicist.

Rachel says you caught some sardines in Santeetlah.

Wolfgang
oh, and ketchup is gonna be the death of you.

I'm not so certain.....RSLTF sounds like a type of Harley.

Why not just TPF? We could shorten it informally to TP.

It sounds more like a Sage rod model to me, but they'd spell it RSLTf.
