Troy and I appreciate your efforts !
In the event we can't fine it, he may be able to find it or a sister message which he sent to other Groups.
Best,
Gordy

Walter.....
Thanks. I do appreciate your trying !
It was such an informative message, I hate to lose it.
Perhaps someone else archived it.... I'll consider poling the Group if you don't come up with it.

Walter.....
We are trying to find Troy Miller's excellent Group message from back in ('05 or '06 ) on the design of fly rods.
Note the messages I copied, below.
Can you help us ?

Do you save all the old postings we’ve made? You should have one from 4 or 5 years ago where I did my best to explain rod design from a practical engineering standpoint. I believe it was simple, concise, and accurate – and would still be today. Most people who try (assuredly with the best of intentions) fail to describe the mechanical properties of the material, the geometry/taper design, and the resultant performance of flyrods – whether tubular or solid cross section.
I can go back and look for it when I have time, if you don’t have it in archive. Thank you sir Regards,
Troy Miller

I remember. It was a great message which clarified things well.
Unfortunately, I had a couple of computer crashes along the way and lost the ones I'd archived. That included yours.
Then I ditched by PC in June and got an i mac. No virus problems since then.
I'd love to revisit your message if there is any way you can find it. Hate to put you to the trouble of re writing it.
Best,
Gordy
