2010/1/26 Niclas Runarsson <niclas.runars...@soderhamn.com>




I'm as good maintaining my inbox as I am maintaining my tying bench. 
This was what I found in a mid-August mail from 2004. (Not by Don though...)

------------------------------------------------------------------
So welcome to the world, Emma Elizabeth Colyn,
I'm sure it won't be long,

Before a fly-rod you'll be holdin'.
Your dad will be posting many times,
as your virtues he'll be extolin'.

Sorry Don, it was 5 1/2 years ago and some months of gestation.
You composed the most beautifull ode to an expected daughter.
 
And its been lost in my maelstrom of electronic records. (I know I have a 
hardcopy in the archives)
But, more to my point, we do things out of kindness, and forget them, but they 
are remembered forever.
 
So I measure the worth of my friends.
 
Thanks again Don.

Hold on, I'll go find it

David,
I don't remember the 'Ode to Emma'.  Please refresh these tired, abused brain 
cells.

Hello you All
 
Wouldn't it be Jimmy (Mud Hole Lunkers) or some such to dredge me out of the 
reeds?
I'm not gonna tell anyone about lurking, skulking, poaching or the like, but 
I've got my fair share of the value of you old bunch of smelly waders.
 
Jimmy, who has defended me against the worst of them.
Don, telling me about dental floss and them big ass flies.
Tony, and all his words of wisdom (still haven't built it.....) your chili 
Pepper caught my youngest, Emma a real corker, it did!
Don (again) your ode to Emma will never release me. Do YOU remember that one?
Nick, how far you have come, my friend, a true doien to the cult, what issit, 
three now?? Ankle biters, I mean hahahaaha, to Theresa my regards.
Kieth, never made that second trip to Germany, but you knew or expected that, 
didn't you?
Ruven...... you still here, not seen you in a bit.
Pete Gramp ??????? I feel you buddy......... 
 
Apologies to anyone I may not have mentioned, tis not intentional, I 
swear. Remind me and you are in my heart still. Oh, I'll mention you too. tee 
hee.
 
I am happy to still be a member, although not a "dues dunner" (who was that?) 
so nail me to the wall........ Byard always treated me well. and still get your 
chat every day. Damn, its good to be reminded of happier days. When a trip to 
Lesotho was the highlight of the year!  No Jimmy not for Bucket mouths!!!!!

 
I lament at the state of the VFB, and no thanks to me for not contributing, my 
head hangs in shame. Excuses are the apologies for those not worthy of mention. 
 
HOWEVER
 
I salute you, the stalwarts of the fraternity. YOU have kept the course, the 
passion and the faith. I, for one, am eternally grateful for the freethinking 
inspiration you have so graciously poured over us. 
 
Thank you, my distant friends
 
Your ever-grateful student

all??

 
"Ummmm, when did I sign up here?"

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.
