to which the next post, #16 - yours, starts off noting that this would be followed up with comments about baseball and owls with a fine little send off that his efforts are as you put it;Gnome wrote:...So far I am really happy with where it is going and having played with the video it is amazing to see the up-close details provided by HD. A whole new way to study rods.

That is how I read it and if I were the author of #15 I'd be seriously annoyed by it - to me it optimizes what you call uncalled for, out of the blue and combative. His PM's aside, which we all now note clearly offended you, were just that, Personal Messages none of my business and not here to judge just trying to understand what seems to be incredibly obnoxious behavior.steeliefool wrote:...Close but no cigar!
SO your telling us your reply to that was;czkid wrote:For all you folks bemoaning the loss of the "Annals of Fly Fishing" why not start a string of "Historic" inputs here in Ephemera? One of the former members of that forum sent me a list of queries and requests, one of which was a sub-topic similar to "Annals...". So here's an opportunity, add to this string... and if there's enough interest and folks behave then just maybe we can add a topic area. Fair Enough??
See "Collecting.." for a similar opportunity re. "Foreign Rods..."
Ralph Shuey
IF that was your intention then so much for playing nice as Ralph requested - some of us would really like to see this so why all the negative, or at best irrelevant, banter and the no cigar(!) comment? Please explain the aggressive post towards Ralphs offer then and exactly what you mean by ending with "close but no cigar!"steeliefool wrote:Were this anything like The Annals, it would be lit up with World Series banter related to the next placement of the BHBBTMTP and squire. Along with fun stuff like "find the barred owl on the stone wall challenge" among others. Interspersed with some interesting posts re: back in the day. Close but no cigar!
IMO the US had superior gunsMy personal opinion is that the earliest American rod makers were gun makers and turners and it wasn't until the perfection of the split bamboo rod that the US had a superior product and something worth marketing.
