Tony- I bet we could get another bunch from the list together at Sowbug next March. Hope you are feeling better and keep cool in this hot weather in MO/ARK. Will see you at conclave! – Dail Graham

As you do Joyce, I do the same. I wish there was a way for all of us to get together. The closest we have come is at the Sowbug show when we had 37 members there. We had a get together at the show one afternoon. I was presented with a box of flies.

However, this list is the first thing I read in the morning, and usually the last I read at night, so I am still very dependent on learning more from those who know so much more about fishing and tying than I do. And..I love the recipes for food, the patterns, the fishing reports, and am always happy to add prayers for those who are on this list and those they love. Keep it coming.

Don, and Jimmy have really tried to keep things going but we still slowed down. I have not mentioned on the list but I am having some medical problems for the past three years so I have not been posting much about tying or fishing. I would like to see the list come back to it's "Glory Days" like it once was. Loosing some of the posters like Murph, Mark and Larry on the list has also made a difference. I for one will hang in there as long as there is a list.

A quick gathering of the troops into Googlegroups was a good saviour when the Troutnet domain suddenly died on us. We did lose quite a few members though. 3,5 years later we are 209 of us - a third of the former list. But I don't think it made a big change in traffic. "The Big Four" (as described by the About Us list) - Don, Tony, JimmyD and Jimi, were quickly back on track and started to generate replies from the rest of us. My Outlook post file never noticed a difference. LOL 1: DonO - 1393 2: Tony - 1221 3: Bigtroutman - 1150 4: Deserttrout - 1036 (with Allan as no 5, with a humble 657) /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com [mailto:vfb-mail@googlegroups.com] För ray...@earthlink.net Skickat: den 20 augusti 2011 18:30 Till: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Ämne: [VFB] VFB "The Phoenix Rises" Morning VFB'ers: It does my heart good to see so much activity on the list these last few days. As one of the VFB managers/monitors, whatever, I have not seen anything out of the way, no flamming, plenty of good natured banter, via DonO and Nick and a few others Good stuff all around. Even Byard has put in his 2 cents wort several times. Good to see he's pleased with the Re-invented VFB.
