It seems to me that Sea Kayaker could do much for the sport and to improve the breed by putting up some truly critical reviews. It works in other fields, say, like plays and movies. Just the mere knowledge that a truly bad boat could get panned might lead to improvements, and removal of the truly bad boat from the market. >I also take issue with the notion that "there's nothing better out there ..." > >This forum (Paddlewise) is much more useful, albeit sometimes it is tough to >judge the validity of comments made. Very true. In fact, I've gotten to the point where I don't read Sea Kayaker that much, unless I find someone else's copy laying around and there's nothing better to do. I all too often detect an elitist attitude in the magazine that I find offensive. -- Wes *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Aug 12 2000 - 10:17:09 PDT
