Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got til its gone......

The "elitism" that I see as a trend on the spot burning threads is:

1) people who make money off fishing seem to be in favor of spot burning.

2) people who have no spots of their own to share are in favor of spot burning.

3) people who have put in their time over the years to learn spot and don't fit into category 1 are against spot burning.

I also see a lot of complaining by people in elitist group 1 about people in elitist group 3.

I totally understand people in group 2. They want to fish in places with fish and buying a magazine is easier than humping the shore line for a few years to find their own. However , since they have not put in their time , they don't understand the value of a spot and the implications to access lose of publishing spots in mass media.
