Not trying to stress my shoulder by patting my back here...I probably bag on the press as much as anybody.
The other day after the Goose Poachers Get Arrested thread I mentioned that I wrote a quick thank you note to Grant McOmie for bringing it to light and helping to get the poachers nabbed.
I just think we really need to try to reward good behavior if we are going to complain about bad.
Here is Mr McOmies response:
Hi Bruce,
Thanks very much for the note and the kind words!
We will continue to cover fish, wildlife and environmental stories and I
appreciate knowing that viewers feel these stories are important.
I believe they are too!
Regards,
Grant
You guys may want to consider dropping him a note of thanks for all his work on helping to protect fish and wildlife for ligitimate sportspeople. Not a lot of media folks on our side. We need to give Kudos to those who are.
I sent it through the KATU website.
Thanks again Grant! [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

GRB [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] - did Grant respond to you via e-mail? If so, was his direct e-mail address in the header? If you have it, it might be a good idea to post here for a qick link....the more available it is, the more likely people will do it. :smile:
Usually best not to post anyone's email addresses on a public board, that's how most spammers "harvest" for their lists....just a thought. Good call on the positive response, you're right we don't have enough media types on our side.
