And Steve, the only major flaw with the FAOL BB set up, to my way of thinking, has been the ability to post pix simply and directly, rather than through a photo hosting site. When I had some issues with photobucket.com, I deleted all my pix on that site, and not much later on photobucket went from a free site to a rather expensive proposition. More recently, I've really cut back on fishing since my home water in Northern Idaho has continued to deteriorate as a fishery. Getting skunked on that river was, for years, unimaginable, but it has become a rather regular occurrence the past couple years. Haven't bought an annual Idaho license yet this year, and may not get one, for the first time in twenty plus years.
