It does not mean problem. Once you understand the difference the rest of your argument is irrelevant. >> John, I've got to agree with Sarah on this. I took good note of what you both wrote, and I thought it obvious that Sarah, having the experience and intelligence to know the difference, meant "a problem with a group" -- the type of problem where a paddler or group fails to follow your otherwise stellar leadership. Failing to keep control doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad leader. There are those who just will not be lead. And unlike the military, you're not allowed to shoot them for desertion, or court martial them for insubordination. Come to think of it, I have to agree with all the rest of those you managed to get responses from. Keep it up, and you'll get more feedback than my good buddy Scott usually gets. And he actually *tries* to be controversial.:-) Harold *************************************************************************** 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 07 1999 - 02:20:33 PDT
