I find the definition of fishing as a sport strange but for want of any
other compartment I suppose sport will have to do. But if someone's
sport involves putting a metal hook in a living creature's mouth and
yanking it out of the river for fun then you do have to question it!

it's just as annoying to read accounts in this newsgroup from paddlers
who's main objective is to see how much milage they can run up in a day in
their sea kayaks or how many rapids they can run in their apparently short
lifetimes. it's annoying when they show no appreciation for nature and
deride slower paddlers who like being outdoors "birdwatching" and away
from their high speed high tech highly competitive high cost environment.

it's just as annoying to read the writings of people who think what they
do for "recreation" is what everyone else should be made to do through
legislation, regulation, certification, and any other from of restriction
they can come up with.
