No, she said, there is no line to enter that information. Its frustrating as hell to listen and become a victim of bureaucratic BS that essentially run by persons with their own personal agenda. By the way, this is the same group that gives the commercial guys about 25% of our bluefish quota. Why?

That's exactly why you should never answer any questions or surveys from a government agency. No matter the answer the data will always be skewed in their favor.
