DonO your point was not missed by me.
If someone has a problem with the way they tie their flies or the "level"
they may think they are at then by all means don't enter a swap. I have been in
a few swaps and I have received some flies that "sucked out loud," maybe that is
why I have not been in any swaps lately. I am by no means a good tier, but
I put forth an effort because I cannot and will not settle for anything less
then my best. Now that does not mean I will hold others to the same standards I
have set for myself. You cannot expect everyone to do their best
either, folks will enter a swap and do enough to get by because they know
the caliber of tiers on this list and they know they will receive a box full of
wonderful flies for next to no effort.
Some may flame me but I don't care. If you will not put forth an effort
then stay out of the swaps. I don't care what level of tier you are. If you are
offended by someone expressing their opinions, tying or fishing related, then
maybe you should say bye. All of us are not going to agree on everything said
here, so what that's life. Grow up, get over it and move on. We are here to
learn from those who have the experience we don't, weather it is coaxing a big
brown up from the bottom of a deep pool or the best way for attaching a hair
wing to a #20 caddis.
As for the perp boxes, they were supposed to be insured for about
$200-$300, if I am not mistaken. So, if the boxes were mailed and insured
who got the money?
Just my opinion,
Bart
P.S. I am with DonO on this one.
