Jim,
I'm sorry, but, I do not agree with your idea of "banning" giving away furled leaders. I have purchased 2 of Kathy's DVD's. One for myself and one for a friend of mine who done me a favor and refused payment. I have even given away the DVD I purchased for myself. I enjoy giving and I enjoy bartering. I really think giving a few furled leaders away may sell more of Kathy's DVD's. Everyone I have given furled leaders to have not asked for more which leads me to believe they are making their own and may have purchased the DVD from Kathy. Now if someone starts burning a bunch of copies of Kathy's DVD and selling or giving them away, that rubs me the wrong way.
I will continue to give away furled leaders because that is what FAOL is all about. Giving and sharing which I think brings in more young people to fly fishing. Lord knows the equipment is expensive enough for new comers to the sport.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
