Default Jersey Epilogue

It's been the unwritten but almost universally recognized
convention that rofft is one corner of cyberspace a fly
fisherman can go that is free from a lot of the bickering
and nonsense that goes on in roff.

I apologize for rather flagrantly defying convention, but
I thought it necessary.

This place had become overrun with posters from NEFF who
had no clue they were posting to Usenet. They brought
with them their village idiot, AKSkim, and a ****ing
contest broke out. Well, given the limitations of their
forum it was more like a bunch of angry teenage girls
exchanging nasty notes in geography class than a real
roffian ****ing contest, but it was untoward here in rofft.

They and their .doc fly recipes and obnoxious graphics are
gone for now, thanks riverman and Tom Littleton, and we now
return you to your regularly scheduled rofft.

And I promise to be conventional. ;-)

.....as much as it pains me to type this, Forty, your actions were correct.
Basically, I noted that the influx of those stone morons drove many
long-time posters off ROFFT.
I hope that we can now resuscitate a great, if underutilized resource. I,
for one, have learned much from this group
Tom
