Are you sure about that? References?

My last trip to Maine, where I spent three weeks on various islands
and in the company of lobstermen. Most of them grow their lobsters
in pens, check on them daily, and harvest them when they reach
legal size or larger.

Note that there are many lobstermen who still use individual pots.
Harry,

I was surprised to learn that most of Maine Lobsters are grown in
pens, are you basing this on anything more than your last trip to
Maine?


Try reading for content, numnutz. Most of the lobstermen with whom I
visited grow lobsters in pens. Nowhere did I say that "most of Maine
lobsters are grown in pens." These same lobstermen, many of them,
also use traditional pots.

These pens, by the way, are not on land. They're off the shore a
ways, perhaps a mile, typically in coves around the islands. Some of
them are run as cooperatives.

Harry why the anger? When I read the above, I thought you wrote that
statement, and it sounded a little far fetched. If you did write that
statement, doesn't it say Maine lobsters are mostly grown in holding
pens these days?






"Reggie," there isn't anything you post here that interests me.
Play your d.f. games with someone else, ok?

I'll be glad to consider taking you seriously when you have a real
identity here.

Good night.


Harry, didn't your mother tell you that telling lies is a like spiraling
down a pit with no ladder to get you out.
