the good good old old days.
#1do you remember? ah, i remember it well . . . . . . . long long ago in a land far far away . . . . . .!
when the board awarded to useful topics hot topic status complete with flashing billboards. and b h b would then comment on the "hotiosity" of the thread. oh, for the good old days, when men were iron and rods were hindoo-vine and bamboo (wooden).
regards, happy holidays, jim w

Re: the good good old old days.
#11I use the search function often and when I run across someone who hasn't posted in quite some time, I wonder if they are fishing the River Styx, moved on to other passions, or were banned for some reason or simply got fed up for one reason or another and left. I would like to see the mods add "deseased" or some other identifier to the avatars of those fishing the River Styx, so that newbies like me are aware.

#20hi; i see you commenting sometimes. i guess the common run of "my best 4 weight is better than your worst five weight rod" does not offer much in the way of enlightenment or entertainment.uniphasian wrote: ↑01/09/22 16:17Hey, I'm still here (sometimes...)Seabowisha Salmo T wrote: ↑01/06/22 19:30Seabowisha Salmo T wrote: ↑01/05/22 13:31a pity that, the days of banjo, cloozoe, andre, uni, c and a, j d, and the list grows . . . . .! but, who wants the good old days, just a bunch of old guys sitting around a cracker barrel. in those days i read the mail because i had nothing of value to contribute (still don't - am now dependent upon my hunting grandson for measuring f e thomas rods. hope to resume soon).steeliefool wrote: ↑01/05/22 11:53A bit before my time of the BHB experience.
