Re: [Paddlewise] Try before you buy?

Hi Wes,

And equally impressive is a man willing to stand up and say what YOU have.
(Matt arguably has something to gain by his declaration. But from my
reading, I BELIEVE he's sincere, and I hope he DOES gain business.)

You, on the other hand, have nothing to gain, save for perhaps the snorts of
derision from other members of the community. It's often much harder to
speak out as you have. If only more folks would stand up and speak out for
what's RIGHT in this increasingly uncivil world, this declining culture we
live in, then maybe the future might look brighter. To me, at least.

A tip of the hat to you, Wes.

Bruce

*** NOTE TO JACKIE: Fear not. I'm not a political rabble-rouser. Far from
it. I'm just another Old Fart, soon to turn 52, who read Matt's good words,
thought "Yeah!" and wanted to cheer him, but figured "Who knows who I am?
Maybe I'd better just be quiet." And then Wes wrote this and I thought
"Hooray! There are still good people out there! People with the courage of
their convictions." So, I kinda piggy-backed my way into this. I'll be quiet
now.

Y'r H'mble S'rv'nt   - Bruce
