Plunk,

You are welcome to affirm or not affirm whatever you want, but as you already know, you're wrong on this one. If this were the case I can tell you that our harvest policy document would not be taking so long to complete. "No harvest, ever" wouldn't take very long.

Definitely organized at that time, but completely irrelevant to this discussion.

Again, wrong...and again, you know it. You hve been saying that for three years, and the truth is never anywhere close to that, and you and I, and others, have discussed it repeatedly. Read the rest of this thread, and the other ten, to see the reasons why the WSC supports WSR...I would love for one of you anti's to actually back up your assertions with a little fact, at least now and again.


All,

This whole thread is clearly an attempt by CFM to try and discredit a dedicated organization because he has a bee in his bonnet. If you've read his stuff over the years you already know that he doesn't trust anyone or anything...every fishing group except his own has personally screwed him at some point, specifically targeting him for the screwing, not to mention every government agency.

If this weren't the case...if he were actually interested in the answers to his questions, then why does he continually tell me what the answers should be, rather than ask me, who does know the answers, and accept the answers when I give them to him? I'm not asking him to agree with me, or give up his typical windmill tipping, but to actually listen to the people that formed and operate the WSC if he wants to know what WSC policy is.

Now if he's not listening to my answers, ask yourself why. Is it because he thinks I'm lying to him? Probably not...I'd have no reason to do that, especially when the answers to the questions have been repeatedly posted on multiple BB's over a few years.

Is it that he can't understand my answers? I doubt that, too. While I do think that he sometimes says things that I find pretty incredulous, I also think he's a pretty bright guy who has no problem understanding what is being said.

So...if he truly has questions, asks the people who truly have the answers, those people give him the answers, he can clearly understand what the answers are, and then continues to needle and nitpick, swapping topics back and forth, and attempting to create the answers he wanted to get from the WSC to begin with, rather than the ones he received from them...then what exactly is his motivation?

Fish on...

Todd
