I don't agree with a lot of members on a lot of different fishery issues. I find that lots of times I am ignorant about an issue, and find it most interesting to debate it until I feel that I have a better understanding or feeling of the issue. I guess it's because I just have a "need to know" why! We hear a lot of BS and very little facts! Good debates about these issues always separate the two

I may not agree with what other people may have to say some times, but without debating the merit of the subject, how can we ever learn the facts? I believe that a person should be allowed to debate his position or point of view until he becomes repetitious.

Even those I may not fully agree with you at some point, I do find that you are making people think (one of my favorite things to do ), and you at lease attempt to support your posts with facts, and not just emotions. I am also sure that we will have our differences on some issues (If you’re a biologist that's almost a given), but that will just make me learn more. I hope that others will treat you the same way, and let you share your opinions and knowledge with this board. New thoughts, new ideas, and new information is what makes this board so great. Lots of us have strong opinions that are almost formed in rock, so you can rest assured that you will have your hands full in trying to crack some of the rocks!

I for one, look foreword to hearing what you know, and have to say about our fisheries and its resources. There isn't a week that goes by where I haven't learned something new from this board. That's why new thoughts and information will always be appreciated by me, even those they may not be the same as my own.

Thanks for jumping into our fish pan!

PS; If you work for WDFW, please don't take my attacks on WDFW to personally! It's the "managers" that I have the biggest problems with …not the field people! I have a long history of disagreeing with how WDFW's has managed the Cowlitz River
