[afterhours]

zac...i guess all is well with the peanuts, they just moved to new bedford. i'm glad people who attended civil right rallies and anti war rallies did'nt have your mindset- i believe most attended to show support.

don, you misunderstood my point. (both of them actually)

At a meeting like this, you can attend to show support for either side, right? so... how does the advisory panel know you are there to support decreased menhaden take in the bay vs. a comm guy there to support increased take in the bay??

Or is it just Ark against everyone else, and anyone there is assumed against the take of pogies in the bay?

I am not against going to the meetings, I just never understood how they judge the "attendance" off the meeting if those in attendance don't speak up...

and my point was about how there were a complete lack of peanuts in the bay (where the pogie boats have been vacuuming out adult pogies every summer for the last three years), but in other areas in MA where they are not completely raping the resource there is an abundance of peanunts.......
