The topic is presented in the NANFA Code of Ethics, specifically and also implicitly by knowing and abiding by regulations upon collection of fish. Isn't that part of the new member packet too?

I agree that after the first or second post, especially Dave's, that I figured it would be mute after that, and I stopped reading the thread after that because it was in my mind, but I never really thought from the first few I read that it got out of hand.
