Just a friendly reminder. When you have a question, try GOOGLE. Google is an amazing service. It can find almost anything. I found a listing of articles that were published in Fly Fisherman magazine dating way back. It even listed two articles I had written that were published in 1972. Amazing. How do it do that??
Nah! Its easier if I let you and others look it up for me!!! :D :D :D
If someone asks the question here, many benefit from the answer/opinion, while if it's looked up on google then only one benefits. Google doesn't offer opinions either. You are right there is a lot of info on google
Wow! Arkriver. I admire you for wanting someone elses opinion. Not many do. :lol:

This shows we want to help, and it educates the newbie as to how the site functions. When the answer is not in the archives (rare as that may be) I find myself Googling the topic and posting a link to the answer. I know that the person can Google the question themself, but it's nice that the answer is now out where many can benefit from it. I like to thing we're all pack animals, and we need to interact with each other. This is a good way of doing just that.

Actually you didn't even have to google to get a list of Fly Fisherman Articles they have the listing right on their site from the first issue to about 2004 right not.

I agree with the others ask and others obtain information also, cause some won't ask. Remember we've all been there THE NEWBY!!!! We got the help we needed, now it's payback time when you can.

I don't think the original poster was saying "use the search before posting", he/she was saying Google is an amazing search engine...............and it is.
