Yeah…and I bet every one of you told the recepient about where to learn to make them and how you did. BS! Some people are just so anxious to show off their work…which doesn’t take much IQ thanks to Kathy. You just drool when someone says they want a furled leader.
It does not take a genius or a journeman spinner to make a furled leader. geeeeze
I have been the benefactor of many freebies on here…which would make one wonder why I say this. But it has been going on for so long that everyone knows if they make a post about furled leaders a bunch of people will be ever so happy to send them a few…free. Heck they will probably get enough for a few years of fishing. Meanwhile taking away the business from people who sell them…because people don’t have to buy them…they get them here for free.
Generosity? I don’t think so. It’s showing off. Sticking out your lapel to say see here…look what “I” can do. One of you even has a colored photo of himself on a card for furled leaders! I would not go to that much trouble and expense unless I was going into the business. Wow…
I doubt very very much that you guys are telling the recepient much about furled leaders. Perhaps you are. I bet though…that you are just sending them out…for the credits. And Kathy gets NONE>
I am not suggesting banning generosity. I am suggesting good people get credit where credit is due…and in the case of furled leaders it is far from happening. It has in fact been undermined.
This is supposed to be a board called “Sound Off”…about gripes, complaints, and attaboys. Therefore I think I have the right to post this opinion.
So I stated my opinion. In the case of Warren…sorry if it rubs him the wrong way…I don’t include him in the above opinions. Warren is cool. I have probably made myself his enemy…but I hope not.
I am just stating an opinion that people have all taken up the bandwagon to make furled leaders and then act like they are the masters at it. Meanwhile Kathy sells them…but for sure not as many because they are so easily available on here.
No…I am not related to Kathy, and yes I did buy her DVD.
Why does ANY person on this board need a free furled leader? They are available many places now. Many people sell them. And thank you Jack Hise for personally showing me how to make them and giving me lessons on how to make furled leaders.
I made a very short demo of how to make one at our fly club mtg…only because the Pres asked me to. Nobody here where I live makes them but me. I was asked to make them and sell them to people in the club. I replied no thank you. I provided Kathy Scott’s contact info and told them they can either buy her instructional CD or they can buy them from HER. I would not make them and sell them to our club members. I just make them for myself. and NOBODY else. And her cd is not copy protected. But I did not make a copy and give it to our club for it’s library. If the club wants that instruction they can buy it from Kat. Not getting a free one from me.
I just state my opinions and let the chips fall…or stick into my skin a little bit…depending on how hard they are thrown at me…fall where they may.
I just think too many people are sticking out their lapels to say hey look at me…and Kathy not getting her fair share.
But I could be wrong. That’s for sure. I have been wrong so many times on here and due to good people correcting me I have learnd from my mistakes. Maybe this is another one.
I often stick my neck out…and get it cut off. It hurts sometimes.
I am quite sure my goose is cooked very well done on her now.
Just looks that way to me.
Having said all of that…'me thinks I am probably all wrong. Because of the names of the people I see sending them out…ARE GOOD people and share all the time. It is perhaps indeed just their generosity. I know the feeling. I am always showing someone how, or giving someone something…just to help them learn or know…because they don’t know how. Just to help them along.
So I hope I am in fact totally wrong. I like the generosity side of it. I’ll just take the hits for being wrong again. It isn’t the first time. Probably won’t be the last. I have no doubt “I” will be banned from the website someday. It is just a matter of time.
But I sure would like to see Ms. Kathy Scott get more kudos on here. I admit she has obtained a lot though.
