To: BonnieTormohlen Bonnie: Just a suggestion, but I think it would be wonderful if you used fewer abbreviations. Remember, most of us aren't in California, and in fact I had to read the first paragraph before I knew whether CA meant California or Canada. They are abbreviated the same way. Then you use "DFG" for "Department of Fish and Game", which I understood because I have been there, but it is called different things in other states. For example in Washington it is called the Department of Fish & Wildlife (DFW), but permits are obtained from the Department of Licensing (DL). What I am saying is that the majority of us (i.e., outside of California) have to pause, think, and even look stuff up before we even know what the heck you are writing about. We are interested in your message, so please don't make it hard to understand. Don't ASSUME people know what you mean. Spell it out. Thanks. Lonny Eachus [Posted in FML 7444]
