Hello GLF, I live a few hundred miles away from the Great Lakes( in VT) but I do care very much about them. I travel for the Lake Ontario Classic each fall and use information gathered here and on other sites to keep informed of the Lakes current State of Affairs. This includes fishing technique, environmental concerns and political activism. It would be a huge loss for me to lose the privlege to post on an occassional basis, not just as a fisherman but also as an concerned steward of natural resources. While I may not post frequently I appreciate the privlege to do so. Thank you for the site! Dave
