We talked at length about our early days on QJ and those early trips.  For each of us, everything we've acquired regarding discussion forum ethics has come from here.  We've learned how to relate to one another online and in the field.
I remember back to some pm from Jimbo in 2005, "hey we should do a trip together sometime".  I knew he had already met up with DB, with Tripper and perhaps others.  It had the ring of a blind date.  Why not!?!  It was a great experience being out with a group of veterans all too willing to share fishing locations and favorite lures, 5 star camps, evening meals, and best of all camaraderie.
