I accidentally discovered something over in alt.flyfishing
which many on roff should appreciate; the secret formula
to end one of T-Bone's interminable C&R harangues. In one
tidy paragraph I was able to render him responseless for
almost 24 hours now !!

The exchange went like this (note TBone's new affectation
with Greek philosophers ;-) :

Sweet!

OK...so following along...

Our relationship with fish include stressing and killing them purely
for recreation. (Socrates)

Nope. My recreation is every bit as important as the few
fish which accidentally die as a result of my C&R. Where
regulations permit I will eat the fish I kill and where
it's illegal to keep a fish the turtles and otters will
eat them. A few dead fish do not matter one whit to me,
I look at the bigger fishery management picture. As do
most of the folks who have grown weary of your tedious
and tiresome anti-C&R crusading.

Presented here as a public service for the vast majority
of roff whose ISPs don't carry alt.* groups.

(And yes I know, I was a chump to ever get into yet
another C&R thread with TBone in the first place. ;-)
