[ladystrange]

Well SJW, I think Ladystrange probably thinks you have an appropriate board name right about now also...

Nobody could ever insult me. I don't take offense to anything. I took the proper training, just marry a texas girl.

Ladystrange...............your board name is fitting.

 

This from a guy who, in past, inferred that he would like to, or has even, slept with one of his motorcycles. Pot - meet kettle.

 

Buttttttttt

 

I gotta agree here. For Christmas I'm gonna ask Santa to bring LS a warm body - that of a man. So she doesn't have to sleep with fiberglass and steel. Cuz no matter how you cut it, it just ain't right.

 

Uh oh...the train just derailed on this one now.

[EdB]

but i do pet it every night before i go to bed.

 

???????????? that might just be my new signature.

I saw that as well, troutslayer, but wasted to much time thinking about boundries and where they should be.

All,

 

I dropped by a local flyshop this week to grab some line and I had an exchange with the staff which I found pretty interesting. I asked the folks there if they had witnessed a recent influx in interest about spey rods & lines. The answer was uniformly yes and it was felt that this trend was directly driven by FFC. That I was even standing there was direct proof of this given that I had my first access to lessons on the two hander arranged directly through FFC.

 

Speaking from personal experience, local market influence from a community online forum is quite rare. In fact people spend millions of dollars to create these types of forums in the hope that they will produce just what FFC has - direct, measurable impact on peoples buying habits. What is even more impressive (and perhaps as rare) is that all of this is driven by a community which operates, in the main, with an understated harmony and a very limited amount of rancor (fishhead notwhistanding).

OK, back on topic folks....next.

[ladystrange]
