Thanks for the mention Jackie, This sounds like a "Who's Who and Paddles
What! What With! and Why!" of kayaking?
Maybe there should be a list of headings so there was some consistency?
Possibly also a length limit? Obviously 
it should only include volunteers. Any ideas/opinions! If four or more
people request this sort of data and Jackie is happy 
with it, I'ld be glad to act as a collection point and collate. It would be
a different email address though. Wasn't Sandy 
doing something similar at one stage?
PS
Jackie, I've finally worked out how to do paragraphs and line spacing
properly in HTML !   
Will practice on the towing thread ! 

All the best, PeterO 
(Ombri is the Spanish for many Osmans :~)

If anyone puts a thread together for the PaddleWise website such as
Peter Ombri did <http://www.paddlewise.net/topics/boatequip/tethers.html> ,
I'll put it on the website (I'm not sure if this is what you mean, though)

Cheers,

Jackie

Sandy was wanting something like this to quick reference who's who (with a 
photo would be fab!), but she's too illiterate to do anything about it.  
However, she was looking over the AOL for Dummies book while lounging on the 
deck of Carnival's IMAGINATION!  (I'm trying to work out how to do the Home 
Page which they assure me is super easy!)
