Finally, I don't understand why some feel the need to preface every statement (or presentation) by saying "In my opinion..." or "While others may view things differently...". When I hear people say such things, I think to myself "Gee, really?!?" :-) When I want opinions on something, I seek out those who are passionate in their views. Dan Hagen >> Interestingly enough, "whatever works for you" is exactly what Nigel Foster advises after he's presented the information, including his own experience and opinion, on a particular topic. I personally am much more comfortable with that approach to instruction than with know-it-all attitudes which tend to turn me off, know matter how much they know. Each to his own, I guess! :) Sandy *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Jan 31 1999 - 14:42:35 PST
