Matthew/John, I'm a typical lazy b#####d angler who just wants to sit down and fish, therefore, I doff my cap to people like yourself who do care what is happening on the 'political front' of this sport, I could'nt give a toss if it's for personal satisfaction/kudos, I'm just pleased to know that there are people fighting for THEIR beliefs. The reaction to this thread indicates to me you're doing something to stir up the passions, I remember the old adage 'Nobody kicks out at a dead dog', and
you've certainly had a good kicking at, albeit
at times on too personal a level.
Best wishes to you, and make them 'have it'.
