Todd,

Please, as a personal favor, back off a minute. Of course CCA didn't do it alone. We all know that. But you and I and everyone else also knows that CCA brought one thing to the Legislative issue that no one else did - numbers. And the numbers made a positive impression, and the numbers may have (impossilbe to know) carried the outcome.

There are more than enough legitimate disagreements to go around. Most of the energy spent on those is and continues to be counter-productive. We'll be better off to focus energy on the cummulative strengths of the aggregate of sportfishing organizations. That is the ONLY thing that pays off in moving us closer to our mutual conservation goals.

All this petty bickering aimed at detracting one another's efforts should earn several posters a trip to the woodshed.
