I emailed the link to this thread to a friend who owns a fly shop and is a regional editor of Flyfisherman Magazine. I think it's time to spread the news via the web, see if feedback from the corners of the world whence come the people who spend $5000 a week here has any impact on this decision. It's ludicrous, but may stand if no one shines the light of day on it. This little forum won't have any impact on it's own, so if you know someone, or know someone who knows someone, pass the word.

I hope that someday we can put aside our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.
