Anyway when it comes to the RISAA club it's kinda like with your kids, you can knock 'em but can't stand by and let some one else do it. So if I misread the jist of writer's statement and became a little belligerent, I apoligize, but if I didn't he needs to get with the program and not be pokin' the bear..........

Nah, you were well within reason. Besides, Likwid usually goes out of his way to fan the flames.

Likwid, 'lil bored?

As a member of several clubs (I have this little thing about liking to support good clubs whether I can make meetings or not) I see them all involved in one way or another within their locations. Whether arranging and staffing local cleanups or actively participating in fisheries management and everything in between, you'll find these local clubs doing the grunt work. Teaching kids to fish, anglers to be more responsible, legislative issues, access and open space, fostering better conservation. All brought to you by your local clubs.

Sure, on individuals, not on groups that are trying to do good.
Seriously John, if I'd wanted to go on an assault I would have been far more erm, retarded? about asking the question.

Thom, yeah, good job jumping the gun there. Calm down.

Booger, go ride your girls bike.

BigFish: What have I done? I'm involved in other non-profits doing other things. I have my fights to fight, you have yours.

One of the issues I'm concerned with (this is for the benefit of the clubs) is visibility (in relation to awareness). Even as a fisherman you don't hear much through the year. No PR so to speak. I could be wrong on this, but I personally (maybe I'm not paying attention?) haven't seen news pieces in magazines saying "hey, soandso club did this! way to go guys!" that much, or some of the bigger plug builders trying to help push awareness. Is there an image issue? Awareness issue? Not sure.

Obviously the boys here are right, you do like to stir the $H!+. After I make an effort to re-think my post and do my best to give you the benefit of the doubt, you want to give it another go round by telling me to calm down. I assure you,sir, I'm quite calm and now know exactly what I'm dealing with!!!
