Thank you for the "thanks" Larry, and others who sent positive feedback.
Its funny though, because I've had other people tell me I have a case of
bad verbal diarrhea, while others have said I'm as bad as the sp*ns*n man
(you know who you are, and thems fighting words!) so I guess you can't
please everyone, though I always try and warn of a long post or suggest
deleting it before reading if the subject is of no interest.

This brings up another point! The last few weeks have been GREAT on
Paddlewise, lots of diverse stuff, detailed info, and friendly banter. I
heard via the grape vine that there are those in the instructor fields who
think PW just has mostly garbage on it. This is silly! All the different
viewpoints are what make PW a premiere list, and we all seem mature enough
to agree to disagree where necessary. And if you don't like a post or
someone or something or the ACA, or whatever, don't put them or it down.
When you were a kid, did you play in every one's sandbox in the
neighborhood. No. If I didn't like a certain neighbor, and they asked me to
come and play, I just politely said, "no thank you", and that was the end
off it. Do you buy everything on the shelf at Safeway. No. Of course not.
So please, if someone doesn't like my posts or opinions, or someone else's,
just hit delete, unless you have something constructive to add. I'll try
hard to do the same! And thank you for listening.
