Re: Suit Filed to End All Hunting, Fishing and Trapping

Mr. Lipman,
The source is clearly stated at the end of the organization's release.  I
fail to see the constructive intent of your remark.  Do you think we are
here to waste your time?  I am sure you are aware that we as publishing
professionals are well schooled with regard to proper procedures for
citations and attributions.   I am certain that if the USSA posted it, it is
accurate.

Hopefully, you will invest the same energy in helping to defeat those that
seek to destroy our heritage.
