I am not BASHING ANYONE... (i do hope sal cursi chokes and dies on a pretzel at a meeting) but i appreciate everything everyone has done.. I read the news and get e-newsletters and see what is going on..

But i have also called and asked for a breakdown on the money.. i dont really care who gets lined or uses the money.. but i want to know where it is all going.

Is it my business? not really.. but as a supporter and them being a 501 non profit i would assume it would be public knowledge but i have not seen anything available..

I see the bluefin situation.. 1-2 per boat instead of zero.. but if it was zero for a while what would it be in the next 2-3 years? 3-5 a boat.... or still stay at zero?

The squeeze they are putting on the rec guys and the party/charter boats is hurting everyone and it is not good... But we need to choose our fights.. I think that the limits are somewhat crazy but i also somewhat agreee and dont find that sending 10000 letters is going to do anything.. i do think that proving them scientifically wrong would be the answer... And i think that is another way to start..

Thanks, I really was not trying to start $hit. My second post (the one I had hoped you would quote) was to try and give you and others a better understanding of where I am coming from.

Hopefully, I succeeded.

Thanks again for your response.
