My fools day started yesterday at 5.30 am when some s**thead was trying to break into my neighbourīs apartment :-( After that it was really fascinating to come back to work and find this all sp*****n mail of Tim again in the list. Actually, it almost made me to wet my pants... THEN: My query about non-States paddlers in the list has been disappointing: only 6 answers. I am SURE that there are also other lurkers than all the Canadians who were not answering [Eric, John, I know that you are there, so I didnīt actually expect you to answer ;-)]. I am sorry, maybe I didnīt make my point clear? This has nothing to do with commercial matters, it comes from pure curiosity and NO new mailing lists or any activity against fabulous paddlewisers is planned :-p -I wrote in March: > Helloyou all again - something came to my mind last night: > > Is this list mainly North American? > How many of us all are European "overseas" subscribers? > > Europeans and also other kayakers than Yankees, please send me > personal e-mail, I am forwarding the results to Jackie & the list > after a while... However, as the kayakers spring fever with all this technical ranting is going on, I am lurking in the shadows for a while. Some stories will be following, as soon as the ice has left the shores: I am negotiating about a sponsorship with a dry-suit manufacturer.
