Keta-- No problem and thanks for the reply. I do understand where you're coming from.

I'm not trying to re-open this, but I feel strongly about mis-information on environmental subjects (that I know something about) no matter who spreads it. And that's one reason I tend to jump on "Bush is a bad guy" threads that don't seem to be logical or accurate. It's not that I'm an avid Bush supporter, but just because his administration proposes something on the environment doesn't make it a bad decision. It doesn't make it a good decision, either. Each proposal should be evaluated on its merits in my view.

I'm interested in your spin on the NOAA Fisheries policy draft-- not to debate its points necessarily-- but more to find out what you've found objectionable. The several readings I given it tell me that it makes sense, but I'd like your spin.

Thanks,

Keith
