Hay Dan. That brought you out of the woodwork. We need more members to do the same. Tony

I will finally come out of lurk mode and add to this discussion. I too agree with most of the replies here. I am members of both forums and lists like these, and both have their pluses and minuses. For me. I like the ease and informality of lists like this over the forum set-up. Just so much more personal and easy to use to me. Even though I don't post much here, and don't participate in many of the fly swaps, I read most of the messages posted. Well, maybe not most of them, but some of them...well, OK you got me, maybe a few messages get past the reading of the subject line, LOL. In all seriousness, I have learned a lot from this group. I am sure I will continue to learn as more and more posts are made. Not only do I learn about fly tying and fishing, which is great, I also gain some insight as to who the members here are. That in itself is reason enough to be a member here. Thanks guys, I feel as though I have friends from around the world, from Sweden to South Africa, from Australia to England. From the USA, and even from Kansas! I know that if I need to know something, I can post the inquiry here on VFB, and usually withing minutes, I will have an answer. That in itself is worth the price of admission here. To top it off, the answers arrive in my mailbox automatically and all by themselves, without me needing to click on a link to go somewhere else to read the reply. If I were to ask the same question on a forum, and if I forget to 'subscribe' to the thread, and I get distracted for a day or two and I forget to check the forum, I may never see any replies. At any rate, thanks for this thread. It has brought some life to VFB. And now, since I am working 32 hours a day, I shall, out of necessity, return to the realm of lurkdom until I can take my next breath of air ( I am not allowed to breathe while at work! LOL). Have fun and smooth waters, Salty Dan If at first you don't succeed, maybe you shouldn't try sky diving! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
