As I scroll and delete I notice that Sandy hasn't posted here or to the
tying forum lately. A thread about Hopper patterns without his comments on the best foam or use of Superglue to attach inverted trailing hooks just seems naked g. Hope you've just matured to the point of leaving UseNet behind, Sandy, and are are well. |

If you have an example of me "abusing" Pittendrigh I'm sure you'll post it, but in the absence of same it is safe to assume that you're just lying again.

Their average number of posts and readers was holding steady, pretty close to what they were 5 years ago. But rec.outdoors.fishing.fly was down 80 percent (and that was a year ago). It's probably even more anemic now. I've been seeing the same unchanging name list here for several years now. In that post I implied, somewhat indirectly, the constant taunting from Fortenberry had something to do with it. Several others said they thought it had more to do with competition from moderated forums, like the Washington Fly Fishers and many others. Perhaps the two (competition from forums and acid reflex disease caused primarily by Fortenberry) are two sides of the same coin. Fortenberry's constant pain-in-the-ass baiting would be erased by the moderator at those forums. Fortenberry couldn't exist there even if he wanted to. The level of discussion is an order of magnitude more informative and well educated too. Perhaps as a result (of his absense, and others like him). I still log in and read this group once or twice a week. But the frequency I do read this group will continue to dribble off, principally because of the group's current cyber bully jerk. If you go back and review the group's posts, over the past year or so, you'll see there are still a fair number of reasonable, helpful participants. But there is seldom a week goes by without a **** storm. And Dangleberry is not only always in the thick of it, he is usually it's starting point. It will be interesting to see how much longer the group's few remaining responsible readers last. There is an undeniable downhill spiral in progress. The numbers cannot be disputed. The readership here is now tiny compared to 5 or so years ago. UNQUOTE A large number of people agree with him. MC |

That's a nice enough example of Pittendrigh on his pompous high horse badmouthing me, and that's the post I was talking about when I said poster after poster told him he was way off base. As I recall practically nobody agreed with him. So you're lying again, twice in the same thread and very clumsily too. Congenital liars like you never learn, Google is not your friend. -- Ken Fortenberry |

Probably be a month or more before I log in again. There are (still) a fair number of knowledgeable, helpful posters here. But the numbers continue to shrink. The signal to noise ratio gets worse, and the noise makers continue to dominate the discussions. Been hanging out in the woodworking and programming groups. comp.lang.this.and.that have their share of cyber muggers too. The main difference there is they (like J. Stuckle on comp.lang.php and/or A. Dingley on stylesheets, rdf or xml ) do know what they're talking about. |
