I just checked and as of today, we have 200 members, a far cry from our high water mark of 600 +. Right now we're averaging 775 posts per month, which comes in at 29 VFB posts per day. 775 sounded like a lot, but the 29 ain't much. With 200 members, we should have lots more activity and we can if our members will remember what the VFB was designed for - learning from each other and passing on tips on fly fishing / tying. Maybe some of us, not me and DonO, are too bashful to pose a question or pose a comment. However, we all need to remember that "THERE'S NO DUMB QUESTION WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER." So, lets get cracking and ask those questions and pass along our fly fishing and fly tying tips. I do the Daily Quote and that generates a few comments, but maybe I should pull in a few instructional quotes too. Don't worry about someone on the list jumping you for a comment you've made.

[VFB] 200 VFB members as of today
Thanks DonO: We have indeed lost members. I just checked and as of today, we have 200 members, a far cry from our high water mark of 600 +. Right now we're averaging 775 posts per month, which comes in at 29 VFB posts per day. 775 sounded like a lot, but the 29 ain't much. With 200 members, we should have lots more activity and we can if our members will remember what the VFB was designed for - learning from each other and passing on tips on fly fishing / tying. Maybe some of us, not me and DonO, are too bashful to pose a question or pose a comment. However, we all need to remember that "THERE'S NO DUMB QUESTION WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER." So, lets get cracking and ask those questions and pass along our fly fishing and fly tying tips. I do the Daily Quote and that generates a few comments, but maybe I should pull in a few instructional quotes too. Don't worry about someone on the list jumping you for a comment you've made. If they do, it's usually done in fun. An example would be me chastising DonO for being so long-winded. Give him a word, just one little word, and he can write a 5 page epistle on it. Banter is good, to a point and gives us a chance to poke fun at one another. One thing for sure, as VFB Moderator, I ain't gonna jump on anybody, at least not on List, so let's saddle up and get the list Moving again. JIMMY D -- ><º> * JIMMY D.
