I was with you right up until the fish schtick... I think if there is
anything that qualifies as non-portable, no matter how small and
lightweight, it is probably a fish. Not to spout a load of carp about
your idea, but some ideas really are red herrings that just don't work
trout. I don't mean to be a pain in the bass, but not even Marlin could
make that magic work. Really, don't take the bait. I don't want to see
anybody fishing for ideas fall for this one hook, line, and syncher. =)
Sorry for salmon' the list.
