YOU ARE WHAT YOU WRITE

or

We be doomed to conflict here.

I know a few of the folks on this BB and have met others, and have observed the writing of most of you for the past few years. When I talk with folks I observe a few major differences of opinion, but most seem to be of similar, altho not like, mind. It makes me wonder if the lack of clear writing has more to do with the conflicts that appear in so many threads than actual differences in personal values. And genuine conflicts, when they occur, seem motivated more by intolerance of differing opinions, than the fact that the respective opinions differ.

Not that it matters, but I think it's OK to raise the catch limit within reason when hatchery salmon are abundant. A more useful issue might be why rear and release so many hatchery coho if the end result is an intensive gillnet fishery that wipes out wild coho in the lower Columbia River tributaries?

Sincerely,
