I could ask you the same seeing as you are the one always bitching and 
complaining about everything under the sun.  If you'd have answered this 
+6 months ago when asked it wouldn't have been such a big deal now would 
it have?  No, but instead, when you get backed in to a tough corner, you 
seem to suddenly change the topic or disappear for a while.  Very 
convenient.

Is yours posted?  If so why?  That's just ONE of the things that most of 
the UP residents hate about you and people like you.  You come up, buy a 
postage stamp piece of property, and post the hell out of it.  People 
like you are so incredible obsessed with "This is MINE and that is 
yours".

The reason many UP residents post their property is because of the 
tourists like yourself that don't have any respect for the property that 
they are on.  Walking through a tract of land is one thing, leaving 
garbage, cutting trees down, reckless hunting, and tearing up the ground 
with RV's and ATVs is another.  While those may not directly relate to 
how treat other peoples land Muskie, it is the majority of the 
recreational tourists behavior.

Personally, when I bought my land in northern MN it was posted.  The 
first 
thing I did was take down the signs.

Personally, I dought the validity of this tale of yours.  If this WAS the 
case, it doesn't sound like that big a deal.  That being true, one has to 
wonder WHY you have not responded earlier to the repeated requests over 
the last 6 months?  Would it be because those requests were only in 
alt.great-lakes?  Now that this message was cross posted to your friends 
in the other environmental newsgroup and made you look bad, you had to 
come up with a story.

If they continue to do so, then why don't you take legal measures 
against them.  Ever here of 2 wrongs don't make a right?  Your little tit 
for tat game only verifies your childish, short sighted attitudes that 
many here in alt.great-lakes were already aware of.

>   We released them all. Yes, I always have a license carry a valid

Ya? So? Should I be proud of you doing the right thing? Want me to pat 
you on the back?  Good Muskie!  Good Muskie! ...pat...pat...pat...
I really don't see why you throw out comments like this.  It's pointless.  
The only reason for it, is to plant the notion (an INCORRECT one at that) 
in others heads, that I don't believe in using hunting/fishing licences. 

>   Happy now?

Yes, thank you.  And I must say, it's about time.
 
> Good.  You can go back to your far right thinking, and your wishes
> to condemn the future grandchildren of our country. ------Muskie

Here we go again.  Warnings of total doom, destruction and devastation. 
Yet another ploy, to play on the emotions of those less educated and 
informed on the subject matter to win them to your opinions and views. 
Nobody in alt.great-lakes, including myself, has ever said that there 
shouldn't be responsible logging, game management, etc.  But instead, 
you'd rather have people FALSELY believe that I'd have every last stick 
of wood cut from the Upper Michigan if not for a dollar, just for the fun 
of it.  Sorry to disappoint you Muskie, but there will be plenty for my 
grandchildren and generations to come with the views I have.  The only 
difference between you and I, is that I don't have this obsessive need 
to regulate every aspect of peoples lives and tell them which hand to 
wipe their ass with like you do.  Oh...and I don't trespass.

Have fun in Los Angles, California.
