OK - where were we?
Oh - fisheries science - I feel so relieved that due to my 4th grade math skills

that the swing from .25 to .30 will keep the season open LONGER if entirely while still taking that much more fish out of the fishery - I feel very relieved. Thanks man. Can I be your friend?
Danvers - what was I thinking, I thought you had to go to Danvers to work, you work even closer to most of these meetings that I thought, shucks darn. You singled me out here, I think your partially full of crap here. OK - getting too sarcastic again. I appluad you for picking up Patrick when he was in a jam when his car broke. Can I be your friend too. Yes, I remember that day when we were all at that meeting. I remember other people coming from all over creation too. Damn, if I had the time that night, I might have gone over to mom's for dinner (right down the street if I could find it, not being from mass and all).
The Horror - my ass!
OK - now that we've both acted like petty kids in a schoolyard squabble, do you want to do something constructive with this or should we both continue to make asses of ourselves? Personally, I'm done nickle and diming this thread and I highly suggest you do the same. If you want to use this forum for constructive works that's fine, it might reach a person or two more than yours (not knocking yours). If and when your forum gets a little larger - and I hope it does - look back on this thread and this time and see how easy it is - and see if you had time to see the bus before it rolls ya.
If you want to continue to nit pick, nickle & dime, throw your meeting attending self righteous arse weight around, I suggest you do it elsewhere. If you had expended half the energy networking people that you've shot off here in the last 2 days building a consensus and getting people to show up, you would have seen a greater turnout. And had less to bitch about. But if you choose to get off your high horse, come across as the "common man" - whatever your definition is - that you defend, maybe you'll see better fruits of your effort.
Do not come over here to attack me, and others, when you don't know JACK about what is going on here. Patricks post was very short and true and said what needed to be said without attacking people - you hopped on board and attacked me & Slip an others. If you are going to post something here to inspire the common man, do so in a constructive manner BEFORE the events - don't tell me that I have no right to squawk now - especially when you have not walked in my shoes.
Now (and I admit I have a hair across my arse too for the past few days), are we going to approach this stuff a little more reasonably next time? Or are you going to drivel like you did which means that I need to drivel the way I did and WE BOTH make arses out of ourselves? Capiche? End this drivel which makes people sick for the WRONG reasons?
