Kasia, As one of the "lurkers" and occasional poster to this list, I would like to add my apology to the list of apologies that you are receiving. Although I am still undecided as to the ethics of "Commando Camping", I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I have read Ralph's book and even exchanged some emails with him in the past. Do I think he is knowledgeable about paddling? ABSOLUTELY!! Does he know everything and is he always right? Of course not, but then none of us are. Do I agree with your opinions that you stated? Some yes and some no--BUT I would like to be able to continue to hear them. You might even be able to get me to change my mind on some issues and in the process I might learn something from you. That is the reason that I subscribe to this list. Hopefully you won't unsubscribe because of the actions of a few. The majority of the people on this list are normal and actually do have a life. You are absolutely correct in your outrage concerning the publishing of your phone number. I don't care how much someone disagrees with your opinion, that crossed way over the line. Sincerely, Steve Holtzman (BTW that's my real name and my real email address is not hidden) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
