What's your favorite fly fishing book?

... "Mike Connor" wrote in message ... "Wolfgang" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... SNIP Well, it isn't so much the ecological issues that have me perplexed as it is the rapidly oxidizing noncombustibles. I mean, is this why flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?.......hm......no, I don't think that's it either. Wolfgang who, confused though he obviously is, will still pass on wearing pantyhose to a brush fire. Somewhat bemused myself. Most plastics will burn alright, with some unfortunate side effects of course, mainly due to incomplete combustion, one most unfortunate and common effect of burning PVC for instance, is the production of tetrachloro-dibenzo-dioxin, but complete combustion merely results in the production of water, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen chloride. In practice, some incomplete combustion products such as TCDD are invariably formed, if at relatively low levels. None of this prevents plastics from burning though. I am not entirely sure what is meant here. Neither is anyone else. What makes it all interesting (and not a little amusing) though, is that the author of the original statement to the effect that people who burn plastics don't know that plastics won't burn obviously hasn't got a ****ing clue as to what is meant. Wolfgang yeah, it's free, but it's STILL cheap! Perhaps the only relevant part of the plastic commentary was not stated: Whether it burns or not, placing it in campfires stinks of the entire campground. |

It's kinda like the old Roadrunner cartoons where Wile E. Coyote doesn't fall down into the canyon until he looks down and thinks for a second and realizes his predicament. Takes some folks a while to understand the gravity of the situation.... JR |
