Subject: Re: NANFA-L-- Interesting news article
>>You know, most of us know almost no particulars
about this case. A news story was posted, and we have
responded to it. We don't know how many times the
fellow imported fish (if he ever did), we don't know
when he did other than that he has had fish for 15
years according to the story. He may have bought fish
repeatedly during that time, including within the past
weeks for all we know. We just don't know
much.
News media are good-in-making something sound like a
lot more or less than it is, depending on how the
reporter wants to play it. People who read the
stories are good-in-making even more of it than the
story does.
