Hi Dave,

Your right this is a fantastic forum, but man you shouldn't throw in the towel just because of one person. Don't run out on your friends and relationships over this. You don't agree with me and some of your Friends also joined in and supported you and that's OK with me. Just as you can Google me everyone can also Google "Katmai National Preserve Bear Hunt" and they can come to their own conclusions. They don't have to take your word or mine. There is tons of information on this out there. So who I'm just one person who has very strong beliefs like yourself. You can see as soon as Tony and Roman said knock it off I did with no problem. It was suggested that I bring this topic to some of the photographers and see what they think and I did. This is a great forum with a lot of great photographers and many with whom you've developed relationships. I'm urging you to not to leave because of this. This topic is real hot right now and isn't going to last forever.

Bob
