Bob,
Not attempting to shut down conversation at all, just the opposite. Trying desperately to steer it away from all this publishing talk! )
I value your opinion as I would any other. I think our values are the same, it's just where we choose to focus them. I honestly don't see the longevity of tippet material as a factor in deciding whether I use it or not. Simple as that. I know we disagree and there's thousands of others that surely agree with you. But it doesn't change my opinion... yet.
"potential consequences". I guess that's where I'm at regarding this longevity thing, Ralph. What is the "potential consequence"? I don't see a consequence at all, and too further describe it as "potential", well, I'm back to "what's all the fuss about" mentality.
I know you're much more of a naturalist and protector of the environment and all than I am, no disrepect. But my feeling is there will be a lot more "stuff" here on earth a hundred years from now that our future generations will be dealing with and and I'm quite certain whatever is here in 3013, the focus of discussion won't be regarding the 5X piece of flourocarbon some flyfisher broke off a hundered years ago. The way things are headed, the discussion will more likely be, what is a fish?
I'm keeping an open mind...
fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
