Boy, If I had to design an intelligence test, I'd think I'd start with the question, "Let's say here's a group that supports restoration of fish runs, but not in exactly the same way that you do, and lets say that they are more effective in bringing in the big money than you you are. Should you attack them and alienate them, or try to work with them?"

Whether you guys realize it or not, WT is much more effective than you are in reaching the powers that be, and in extracting money from those that have it. That means that they are politically more effective than you are. Would it not make sense to buddy up with them and see what can be worked out? Or would you rather render the sportfishing community into a bunch of splinter groups with less than 5000 votes each, which the politicians can easily ignore?

The dialogue I have seen here demonizing WT is better than PETA demonizing fishing. For crying out loud, this is a group that is trying to restore fish runs! They are on our side! We disagree about tactics, but we agree about goals. Why are you shooting your own troops?
