set up fly swaps ... and then never sent the flies on? Ask as one of the guys on a UK board have a 'river king' doing the same thing. If you remember which board this went on I'd appreciate a link to forward over.
Many thanks in advance! Fred

Kind of remember him, but who would be so stupid as to use the same name when pulling off these fly scams. Such is internet life !

Do have a good bead on 'him' now and passed the info on to the UK board fellows. Over here he posted under two different names; the river king and a different one for the 'international fly swap.' The connection was the address to send your contributions.

The brits will take care of this sort of rubbish swiftly, like they did through out their history, beheading, drawn and quartering, etc, next time in London check out their toruture museum and the Tower of London, like I did.

As we speak, they're beating the crap out of him on line. One of the longest threads/reads I've ever seen ... but now totally getting out of hand.

Shxt! The board Admin pulled the thread. I've actually got all the posts (auto advise) in my e mail, but it would be a hell of a cut and paste.
Dear fredaevans,
Mike N has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Nymph Swap - in the Fly Tying Forum forum of Fly Fishing Forums.
This thread is located at: http://www.flyforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8495&goto=newpost
Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** This thread has descended into something even more unpleasant than before.
I'm all for giving RK a bit of verbal stick and notifying the proper authorities etc, but lets try not to lower ourselves to his level by threatening assault. I know he started it, but some of these posts are a bit over the top.

Here's a 'taste' of one of the last posts: "Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** I've trawled through this thread and I simply can't fault RK's performance.
He scores:
100% for theft 100% for contempt 100% for disrespect 100% for abuse of the Englisg language
and
100% for telling lies.
In my book that makes him a perfect cvnt "

Ahhh, here's a bit (different thread, but you'll get the idea)
http://www.flyforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=15303&highlight=river+king
If you join the board, go to the membership section and do a search under river king.

He's pretty brassy, as long as he's out of reach! Otherwise, I think he would be "dead meat"!

"They" know exactly where 'he' is; kid had to post his address twice for folks to send him their flies.

Think I will surf over there and announce a holiday fly shop to the Brits. All flys to be sent to the US flymeister, need a close look at those Flame Throwers and Pot Belly Pigs they use over there.

I'll tell you Greg, these guys 'don't take prisoners.' Unfortunately the Board Admin (one guy)pulled the main thread as it was totally out of hand.

And I hope that after he recuperates, he has learned to be a kind and civil person. (But I doubt it!)
