fNp ... discussions of Alaska issues are welcome here. I'd like to see the board take on more of a regional flavor anyhow.

Plus, I know KK is deathly afraid of some of the controversies that surround many issues. And while some certainly become more dawn-out than they should perhaps, I also think the web has given us a great place to discuss issues that prior to its inception would have never had an avenue for debate. Why not take advantage of it?

I know for a fact that some of WDFW looks into this board from time to time, and while it may not always influence the majority of decisions ... if it's even only one here and one there, that's a good thing
