buoy marking - I don't like it!

I hate that my first post is angry.... I'm normally just a beer-n-crab loving guy that plays well with others...
Yes, I know the regs. How do I go about appealing to have them changed to just using my fishing license number or FIN number on the buoy? It wasn't enough that my pots were poached last weekend (yes, I reported it) they took my buoy and now have my name, phone number and address! It would seem reasonable now that we need a license, that the license number alone would be useful tot he DNR for what they do and of no use to poachers. Now someone had my personal info who steals.
I used to have a trailer at Port Delmarva. After being poached several times there, I wised up and put my buoys on shore at the end of a 30' line, sorta hidden in the grass. Technically, I was legal ("gee, I guess the waves washed them up there") So I figure the poachers nor the DNR could find them by boat. One time my pot was inspected by DNR and time-stamped and left in the water UPSIDE-DOWN and was empty. Beer w/o crabs is like crabs w/o beer, you know?
Am I in violation of I let the buoys 'accidentally blow' or wash up onto the shore? I'm not going to that place anymore. I found a friend with a vacant lot on the shore not far from my house who let's me crab from his lot.
Funny, the patrols are always active where I flounder fish at Roosevelt Inlet. Maybe they need to patrol Rehoboth Bay a little more. I had to throw back two 18" flounders that would have fed my starving children. So we had burgers instead... heh heh
