"Rod Building is a decent and rewarding craft. Those who participate in it are assumed to be civilized individuals who are kind and considerate in their dealings with others."

I have been amazed by this board in a lot of ways. I see rod builders who "Set the bar" and define the art.

I have seen machinists,chemist,journeymen,fishermen,sponsors,and a spectrum of others who defy classification, come up with answers to any question.

All participants, litigators,pundits,advisors,prosecutors,sages,artists,
hobbyiest, ordinary Joes, are a part of the reason this board works.

I don't want to get to flowery here with the language and everything, but I will say that I could have been "Obliterated" for my ideas on more than one occasion........... I was'nt.

To the architects responsible for the decorum and protocols of this board, I say "Aye Aye'

Those in favor ?

You got it!

I concur. Thanks, Tom.
