Help me!
Hi Diannaa‬, this is 3500BlueLake. I got your note about respecting copyrights related to the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society page. I work at the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society as the VP of Digital. I originally made very similar edits in 2020 and then recently noticed that all those edits had been removed. I made them again yesterday, and again they were removed. I did indeed cut and past much of what I added from Bassmaster.com (which I manage) and from our communications documents. The owner of B.A.S.S. asked me to make these changes. I ask respectfully that you change the page back to the way I left it yesterday. Thank you,
