"I've found the VFB to be very tolerant of other people, heck they even put up with several multiple personalities." 'Put up with'....? It sounds like multiple peronalities means something bad. I would like to differ. A multiple personality is nothing but a good thing. It gives you a chance to achieve something... to actually be someone. Take me, for instance. I mean... who was Nick when he was alone? He was noone and nothing. I, on the other hand, am an extremely popular guy. When I write something, everybody laughs and think "That was the funniest mail I've ever read!"... and without Nick, I wouldn't be here. It's thanks to him that I'm available to you... and suddenly he's more than nothing. DonO is another example. Maybe he didn't get the response he wanted after the two first tries... but when he introduced Veronica, people sure didn't want him to unsubscribe. So from two noones, we now got six popular ones. How can that be bad? And one who also must agree to this is Byard. I don't take up any extra server space. Neither do Buggs, Dr.Demento or Veronica. (I know... we don't pay membership either, but that's really beside the point.) /Jester -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Deborah Duran Skickat: den 12 december 2005 01:06 Till: [email protected] Ämne: RE: [VFB] Dying Feathers Dave I wasn't put off by them at all, I just didn't have time for both. I started out with the VFB and they taught me a lot so I've stayed with it. I signed up for a short time on one other site and it took way too long sorting through the emails and they didn't have a lot of good fly tying information and weren't always the friendliest. No one was ever rude to me but they really slaughtered some over zealous new comers so I just logged back off. I didn't want to read that. I've found the VFB to be very tolerant of other people, heck they even put up with several multiple personalities, so I just browse other sites every now and then that don't require you to receive email for information and I don't really participate. I still have to try the Veniard dyes. They make me nervous. The instruction page is too long. :) I have several of them so I will have to get out the rubber gloves and be brave.

Most interesting. Half/Half water/vinegar? Ill have to give it a go. I usually use the Veniard dyes, but they can be problematical at times. I found some Australian wool dyes awhile back and very pleased with the results. Try using a crock pot (flea markets have them cheap) They work great. Thanks for the tip on the feather dusters! Home Depot is just down the road. Deb: Do you know of a reliable source for Rhea feathers? (S. American ostrich) Im trying to make a sub for Quetal hackle. (see John Mclains #2 Blacker fly). BTW, Im sorry if you were put off by the FFF site. Ive had very good results there and I even sold some IC to one new member. (which I was led to by J. Mclain)..needless to say, John is quite enthused and dedicated to this form. Well, Deb, Stay warm! It aint too hot here either! Dave Oregon
