Consider yourself invited. One week is around $3000, with about $600
more for travel. Come a day early and you can stay in the Peter
Charles Suite and be the 15th person to "sign the wall."


No, no, I didn't mean "here's the dates" invited, I
meant "Hey Forty, I'm richer than Croesus come join
me in Labrador and the tab's on me" invited. ;-)

If you want wild and scenic, for $3000 each you can do a 12-day float in
Alaska, including travel, and have money left over.

Of course, I'd rather apologize on ROFF than spend 12 minutes, let alone
12 days, with either you or LaCourse.

Gawd, what a ****in' putz.

The putz hijacks a thread and then crossposts
it to roff.

That's pathetic even for a putz.

Gawd, what a ****in' putz.

Yeah, I noticed that. Is that..... ethical?

Of course it's ethical. The thread that started on abpf morphed into
something perfectly on-topic for roff.

In fact, Willi and Chas and Chas's son Andy and I are going on a 12-day
float of the Kanektok in Alaska in late August/early September. Willi's
done a masterfully thorough job of planning the trip, and it's going to
be dirt cheap for what we're doing.

I noticed after we returned from Belize that there were some snarky
comments on ROFF to the effect that "some of us can't afford to do that
kind of stuff." Well, if you do the research and plan carefully, you can
do it for far less than you might think. If you need someone to cook for
you, to change your sheets, to wipe your ass or whatever, it's going to
cost you. But if you're resourceful, imaginative, and energetic you can
do major fishing trips without breaking the bank.

merciful snip

Huh? What the hell does that have to do with Forty's post on the
Middle Fork? Did you cross-post to roff to get attention? Forty and
I were have a little fun with each other and you have to step in and
corrupt the thread with your selfishness and foolishness.

Simply unbelievable. I admire Fortenberry's ability to correctly
judge character.

For the life of me, I do not understand your motivation in hijacking
this thread from abpf, crossposting to roff, and writing this gem. It
seems like you're stirring the pot of bitterness to bring the worst to
the surface, but maybe I'm wrong and there is another reason. Could you
please explain?

It's very simple. The thread took a turn away from the Middle Fork and
toward how much it costs for a major fishing trip. This is interesting
to me, and I thought probably to some people on ROFF, and certainly more
relevant for ROFF than for ABPF. If you're willing to give up on using a
guide and rough it, you can go some pretty exotic places on the cheap.
The Belize trip, for example, was very inexpensive, and although the
fishing wasn't as good as we expected, overall the trip was easily worth
it. This upcoming Alaska trip is going to interesting because (1) it's
long, (2) I'm going with some other ROFF people, (3) we're going to have
to fend for ourselves on a very remote river, and (4) the Kanektok is
supposed to have great fishing for rainbows, silvers (that time of
year), char, and grayling. And we're not spending much, even though
Alaska is known for being very expensive. We're spending less per person
than it costs for a typical guided one-week trip on the Middle Fork of
the Salmon, and the fishing should be incomparably better. It takes a
heck of a lot of planning, though.

Now I'll admit that I probably shouldn't have included the dig at
Fortenberry and LaCourse that you quote, but that wasn't really my
point. They insist on insulting me and calling names, so I'm not going
to lose any sleep over it.

That's for sure. You're an arrogant, condescending jackass
and a mean-spirited piece of ****. If you have to have
someone change the sheets and wipe your ass was a totally
uncalled for snideness about Louie's Labrador trips. FYI
Mr. I Can Be An Insufferable Snob On The Cheap, guides are
required by law in Labrador so all this Belize-Alaska
braggadocio is as irrelevant as it is distasteful. You
hijacked the thread to toss off some nastiness and boast
about how clever you are. You're a ****in' putz.

Now I'll admit that I probably shouldn't have included the dig at
Fortenberry and LaCourse that you quote, but that wasn't really my

You're a liar *and* a ****in' putz.
