Hello all; I used to be fairly active in this group. I would hit the reply key and I would start new threads. I would ask questions. I would go to the chatroom. Now I hit the delete key more than the reply key. When I go to the chatroom, no one else is there.
I have always been of the persuasion that if I wasn't interested in a message, or if it was off topic, to just delete it. That is the way it is in these groups. But, how many times should I hit the delete key before I realize that there are more messages I am not interested in or OT posts than on topic posts? When do I quit deleting and just unsub? To be truthful, I have seriously thought of unsubbing from time to time, but I just keep hanging on, hoping that there will be a message about fly tying, or maybe a recipe posted that this semi-neophyte could try to tie. I learned a lot from the answers to the questions that Chuck Alexander asked when he first joined. After that, it just seemed like all that was happening here were all the alter-egos speaking to one another. Seems that no one goes into the chatroom any more. Jimmy's mention of it today was the first time I recall mention of it in months. Too bad I can't make it in there this evening. Seems like it might be a lively discussion. I think this list is worth it. To me, it is a good list. I would like to see it get back to the original intent of the list, but that is only my opinion. The mass populance will dictate the path this list will take...or Byard will. Then, I will decide if the list is what I want or not. Tight lines, Dan Harriman Orange, Texas
