Hi Don,
this is very orginal blend of colors, nicely tied STRMR. What are the shoulders (cheeks)? Are those dyed or natural?

Pete,
Pete,
I do agree with you on the prefabricated parts, but I doubt that the average tyer is able to obtain with plain materials what can be done with fly foils with less skill. My own first attempt, which I have named the Foileel, does look pretty convincing both above and under water.

I certainly prefer a gun
Pit.
I certainly prefer a gun if I want to shoot a bear! But I prefer one where the barrel points forwards, where there's a trigger placed at the rear where my fingers are and one that used standard bullets that I can buy in any store that sells ammunition.
The online-magazines - to stay in gun-terms - often use special ammunition, have a trigger that is hard to find, and needs to be pressed sideways to fire and you don't know what way bullet goes until you fire the gun.
Regarding the hooks, sure steel is better than bone. But the basic shape, use and function is the exact same! I welcome the development, and I'm happy to use steel hooks. They are better than bone hooks in all ways, but have the same function.
I also welcome development in IT, but only when it makes things better. And in a world of standards, we follow standards! Navigation, links, buttons and what else pertains to web sites simply has to look and work like they do everywhere else, and there's no need to invent such things. That has already been done decades ago, and your chance of doing it better is like the snowball's chance in hell.
Last but not least there's taste. Just because PDF's, Flash or fancy graphics programs allow all kinds of funky layout and wild fonts, you don't have to do all kinds of funky layout and use all the wild fonts! In my eyes the limitations on standard web sites is actually to the benefit of many pages. It does keep designers from going haywire, which is often a good thing.
And I do exactly as you say: I ignore the mails and rarely visit the sites. Especially when the mails arrive unsolicited. I get a ton of unwanted mails and they usually go directly into my spam folder.

Mr. Pennington,

Mr. Pennington,
Thanks for sharing...video a little shaky but I now have some idea on how clean up my fly tying desk. I was interested in if you had a special type of box or container for displaying your bugs when you go to shows, exhibits, demos, etc. Thanks.

Hello Mr Joergensen,
Hello Mr Joergensen, I like your words and your opinion - but - Do you want a gun to shut a bear or a sharpened stone? This is the progress and every 2 or 3 years we double our knowledge in IT. You certainly like carbon steel hooks and no bonehoog - right. Its the user who decides what to use and what to send to the trash. Just dont accept such mails and uploads. if we all or the majority do the same we wont see such things any more. Same with Sugermans social network. Why do these people show their obscenities to the world. Just boycott it and soon you will see Mr Sugerman making sugarcubes.
