I clearly need to bone up on the intricacies of postage use. I recall a fly swap you hosted many years ago where you might have made a buck or two. Is that postage escrow account still drawing interest ? 😂 wily and BilletHead 2

I did do a fly swap that you scoffed at repeatedly yet didn’t participate in while still having about 100 posts in the thread. That the one you’re talking about? BilletHead and wily 1 1 John

Can't remember if it was Riversmallies.com, Matt Tucker's old board, or maybe John Wilson's board. I only remember it because a few of us joked about it afterwards. The flys got divided and shipped out via your place of employments outgoing mail, and we ripped on you behind your back about pocketing 50.00 worth of return postage money. 😅 I remember Greg Coffey and Wayne Kirtley being in on it.....so yeah that was a LONG time ago. How stupid is it that we've known each other that long and still haven't kissed or even held hands? I mean how long do I have to court you before you finally put out ? wily 1

I don’t remember exactly what flyswap you might be re getting at, but I was never on riversmallies or whatever the Wilson board is you’re talking about. Yes on Matt Tucker’s Ozark Chronicles. I’ve probably hosted 5-6 fly swaps over the years. Never was in it to make money, never did make money, but sometimes ended up with extra flies. Pretty sure I always asked for a few bucks to cover postage, didn’t always get that. Usually lost money if I had to guess. Can think of a couple folks that just didn’t pay. If you got stuff mailed from my work, you can be fricking sure I reimbursed the company for it. I’ve been there 35 years, and often send stuff from there. It’s easier than dragging it to the post office. So screw your and your gossip. wily 1 John
