I think the guy was trolling, Ralph.  Lotta eager fish over on r.b.p.

OTOH, remember Max?  He sounded pretty flaky in his initial posting, but he
listened to others, learned a lot, had some misadventures, shake and baked
a little, and sorta worked his way into his hoped-for paddle down the West
coast of North America.  He stopped by here and hung out for a couple
weeks, learning how to handle surf, how to broach in a controlled fashion,
and so forth.

Where is Max now?
