Re: [Paddlewise] Ban jet skis in the national parks

Apologies to all I may have offended by passing this "petition" through email.

The basic idea sounded good to me, and I believe that only by demonstrating
that there is concern beyond that voiced by the equipment manufacturers can
a reasonable comprimise be reached.

I can certainly see why the "instruction" asked that the person who
distributed the original message have their header information deleted.
(and I thought it was to avoid clutter in the message)

Anyway, aplogies to those I may have offended.
