I can appreciate this, running such a mag must be a balancing act. Like a lot of sea kayaking issues its probably horses for courses. I generally don't get too wound up on most stuff, certainly a lot less than some with, for example,  more interest than me in the finer points of hull design (and I even detect mellowing among some of those I know - at least in public). Sometimes I think my postings may be a bit pointed but generally I think there is no point being too dogmatic about most stuff.... but then there is that curious north american reliance on hand pumps......
