WOM - i've never tried noodling for alligator gar ( there are limits, even for texans! ) BTW: the patient procedural explanation of "noodling a catfish" was only included to head wombat off at the pass if he reads this.

side issue Jafo - just because you can handle DOS and UNIX cmd lines with virtuosity and do worthwhile things without a mouse doesn't mean that you're a "function freak". it often means only that you're a wage earner who is getting paid regularly.
