Just for the record, I never doubted that you were collecting 
responsibly, Daryl, or that Robert would endorse such collecting for 
the mere sake of a buck.  It doesn't seem likely that any NFC 
member would try to profit from the destruction of our fishes.  But 
here's a big question:  Suppose a Non-NFC member wanted to do 
the same thing.  Say it was an individual or even a corporation.  
THEN how would everybody feel about endorsing them?
