Peace.

Some of us, here, like myself, are trying to do what we can to protect
those flyfishing places here in the US for you to come and enjoy. I
here partly to "give 'em hell", partly for entertainment, and mostly
to let those that would destroy our environment here and around the
world know that folks like me exist and will be fighting against them.

Good luck with your catch.

Oh I appreciate your efforts, and applaud your motives, even though I will
never fish in any of those places. My only problem with the whole thing is
that arguing politics on a newsgroup like ROFF ( the group I subscribe to),
is unlikely to save anything at all. Although it may occasionally be
entertaining.

For many people who subscribe to specific newsgroups, the constant, (
arguably "off-topic"), cross-posting, is merely an expensive nuisance. They
are forced to download and pay for something they do not want. The noise to
signal ratio is sometimes very high indeed.

There are plenty of political forums, where those of like mind, and opposing
opinions, can batter away at each other to their heart´s content, without
bothering anybody else. Unfortunately, it seems to be in the nature of the
beast, that many feel called upon to foist their opinions on others,
irrespective of the other´s wishes. This is most unfortunate.

Lastly, environmental destruction is a result of our society. There is not
much anybody can do about it, without making sweeping changes to society,
and hardly anybody who is even remotely well situated ( read, practically
all of the western world),wants this.

Nevertheless, I wish you luck in your endeavours.
