Which comes first?...
Neil,
Nice article!
Nice to know I'm not the only one who'll take a 'time-out'; I do it ALL the time! In fact, BEFORE I fish anywhere, I'll sit, light up the ol' briar, and do nothing but watch...
Well.....

I couldn't agree with you more.
It didn't take me too long to question the exact same thing you're writing about. In fact, the idea of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) is a mantra we...
