G'Day,

Ah Well, perhaps rules were made to be broken and no one's complained yet - 
quite the reverse - also I'm not exactly swamped with responses - About 30 
have replied at this time. (Plus theres 140 possibles from the earlier 
list). By the way its curious that the following strong opinions have not 
been expressed in any responses I've looked at so far!

No strong opinions on Rudders!
No strong opinions on Feathering!
No strong opinions on the stability of Foldables vs Hardshells!

Is there a lack of credibility here? - a lack of conviction perhaps! :~)

Regarding searching:

   There won't be anything fancy, just a large set of key words at the 
beginning of the list and I'll put selected keywords against each entry. 
Can't say what the key words will be until the list is complete - 
suggestions welcome.

   For example someone may refer to "paddling collapsible kayaks in Ceylon 
with feathered paddles" in their entry and I would add the key words 
"FOLDABLE" and "SRI LANKA" at the header for their entry and include 
"FOLDABLE", "SRI LANKA" and "FEATHERED" in the set of keywords at the start 
of the list.

All the best, PeterO
