There is a lot of queries in all news groups and nets on recommendations on this or that kayak. I'm pretty ignorant in setting up and maitaining a web site and do not know how much work is invovled, but how about setting up a page in the paddlewise site where owners can post the advantages or disadvantages of the kayaks that they paddle? If it is set up in make and model order any potential purchaser can check out a kayak they plan to test paddle. Of course as has been stipulated in this debate, one persons love of a kayak trait may be anothers hate. But if information on size, preferences, experiance, length of ownership etc is listed then the browser can make a choice of whose advise would best suit their particular situation. The advantage of using the paddlewise site is that it is not affiliated with any manufacturer or magazine. No "nampy pampy" reviews, upset advertisers, or anonymous reviewers. Only one rule would have to be enforced. No debating on the site. If someone disagrees with another posting then, then they should enter their posting in the set format and not attack the others opinion. If the method of reviewing is disagreed with then we have only ourselves to blame. Would it work? *************************************************************************** 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 Mon Aug 14 2000 - 09:04:02 PDT
