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

FWIW I wasn't offended. As appealing as an out ant out ban on jetskis  seems
it's not a realistic goal. That doesn't piss me  off any less when I get
swamped by some of the less considerate jet skiers. Seems like some
meaningful regulation is in order.
I understand that there is a bill in consideration (maybe law by now) to ban
production of  2 cycle motors. Now that is a great idea! It will take
decades to realize the benefits though.

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.
