The term Luddite was later used to describe anyone opposed to technological change.

Ah, the beauty of the internet.... Never able to tell the inflection behind a statement.

what will they show me? as I (d)evolve as a fly tyer I strive for effective simplicity so that's what I tie. meaning I can crank them out if need be.

arty flies are a different issue altogether. let's see your winged wets? actually why bother? the fun fly tying contests died a slow fugly death because no one was worthy.

What do you do with all of your flies Mr Bluzzhead? I hear there's a show on TV about hoarders.....
