Her article was specifically  concerned with "Commando Camping" and
trespass.

  Well, you just proved part of your point in front of a large crowd of
onlookers, sir.  It works best if one keeps names straight - especially when
casting aspersions.

  Yes, she did, four that I recall.  Why are you so whipped up over this
subject if you don't even have all the facts?  I don't recall any postings
that you've made that could be considered controversial until this last one
- I don't think you have anything to fear about being misquoted.

nothing. No messages. That's odd.

  My outlook is that it never pays to stir up a tempest in a teapot and that
my time is far to valuable to waste it looking for "conspiracies".  Me, I'd
rather be outside paddling.
  PW does have a policy regarding the rights of its posters', but let's get
real here - We're posting messages on the Internet, not trading them in the
safety and seclusion of some little clubhouse. It might be wise to adopt the
attitude that anything you write - ANYWHERE on the internet or in email -
could someday find its way onto the front page of the world's major
newspapers; not likely, of course, but I think my point is clear.
  Let's deal with offenses if and when they are made.
