Those tripletail threads were one of those 'sky is falling' things that everyone gets up in arms about but they never happen. If you look through the tripletail threads you will see a common theme of people sounding alarms and speculating what 'they heard' Almost like one of those chain emails you get and people keep on forwarding them on even though they aren't true.
There was an actual proposed tripletail limit under consideration, and scheduled to be discussed at one of the commission meetings. It was not passed, and the letter writing campaign pretty much ended consideration of the proposed regulation, at least for now.

Shooting down government growth before it happens is always much easier than rolling it back once it becomes law. Obamacare is a great example, but the same principle holds with wildlife regulations.
