[Paddlewise] Risk Homeostasis?

I like Mark's thoughts on this. I see it now - continuing experience with 
Paddlewise does not really decrease the risk of posting to the group. It only 
decreases one's *perceived* risk of posting, leading to increasingly risky 
posts....

<<My growing familiarity with PaddleWise has obviously decreased my perceived 
risk of what may occur when posting to this list.  Simple lurking is perhaps 
far safer >>

And while lurking, I've never had to roll. Not once.

Who broke his snowblower this morning, and will therefore be in much better 
physical shape for kayak races this spring (as a result of shoveling out his 
40 yard driveway for the rest of the winter)....pulse rate of 162 after 
shoveling for 45 minutes.
