Steve Scherrer's request for info regarding sources for footpumps got me thinking about creating some kind of archive system for Paddlewise messages. Does anyone out there do already do this? Sure, a goodly percentage of the messages here are just friendly banter and probably aren't worth keeping, but there's also a lot of good info that seems like a shame to lose (well, maybe it's just a problem with my brain, but I can't keep track of all of the good stuff). Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? (or just > not worth thinking about<g>) The archives are automated, at least all of the traffic is still at lists.intelenet.net. You can download it in slabs, by date. Sending an email with the first line of help to majordomo_at_lists.intelenet.net should get you started. I'm assuming Jackie hasn't disabled archiving. Someone on the baidarka mailing list created a site, http://robroy.totalsports.net/baidarka, where the mailing list archives are now stored in searchable form. I point this out since the baidarka mailing list is also hosted by intelenet, so the whatever Charles figured out to do the baidarka mailing list could quickly be adapted to paddlewise. My grumble with the mailing list becoming a web site is now the spammers email address harvesters simply hit that website, instead of jumping through any hoops to join the list and then sponge addresses. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

A good FAQ would be nice....oh, and the problem with my brain has to do with the answer to the question 'Any thoughts?'. -- gabriel l romeu http://studiofurniture.com studio furniture http://members.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photos, prints, etc. http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR a daily photo journal *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

If needed, you can fabricate a circular plate to affix to your deck hardware (bungees) out of the endcap of a 4-inch black PVC water pipe (carve the underside to the deck contour), or buy a factory version which Aquaterra sells (US$12, I think). The Sailor II runs about US$40 to US$50, I think. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
