I think > I might wait and see what develops before I do. Kirby's pitches have not annoyed me. His maps are worthwhile (unsolicited plug), and I suspect many folks who benefit from them would not have known about them if not for this list. Even so, I am against relaxing the stricture against "commercial" postings. We seem to get plenty of info on new developments as it is. A savvy manufacturer would simply give one of his/her new featherdanglegewhoopstodoners to an esteemed contributor to Paddlewise ... and let nature take its course. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR -- Kirby: bribes accepted on Tuesdays only <g> *************************************************************************** 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 Wed Apr 21 1999 - 16:49:33 PDT
