RIRockhound...excellent posts. you are doing a great job putting this into presepective for a lot of people who aren't really following this, including myself.

however, from afar, i see some disturbing things. i see recs wanting to have their cake and eat it too. there is a resource out there that isn't owned by anyone. commercial or rec. the commercial guys are willing to play by a quota set by the state. they are willing to have observers on there so as to make sure there isn't any funny business. that is the sign of concession. there is something to be said for that.

i think what happened there in RI is very positive. it is a good thing when two groups can sit down, air their differences, and come to an agreement to work together. this will resonate much more then a lot of folks think, and farther as well.
