With that much noise it would probably be difficult to tell which direction
it was coming from.

On another note...when I sent the last message it got email bounced from an
NYCKAYAKER mailing list.  If you or anyone is sending email from that
account it might be worth noting that anyone that is not on that mailing
list that responds to a message on Paddlewise (without editing the headers)
isn't going to get email bounced back to them.
