And I reply -
See, I knew when I wrote it that I _hated_ to use the word "serious". <g>
Seriously, I'm one of the least serious paddlers imaginable - paddling's too
much fun to be serious.  Doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken seriously
though.

I have never paddled with my drysuit unzipped or pulled down.  If you're
going to use a piece of gear then use it properly.  It's probably better to
not use it at all than to use it in a way that it was never intended to be
used.  Goes pretty much for anything, not just drysuits.
