you don't get it

Actually I do get it. There's an old saying.."He who defends everything defends nothing."
Certain things are worth fighing for and lead sinkers aren't it, IMO. Issues you dig into and defend are access issues, which impact everyone.
As a fisherman who spent most of my life on CCNS, I can tell you although I used to think CCNS existed strictly for the enjoyment/exploitment by shore based striped bass fishermen, I realize now it was never the case then and it isn't the case now.
