Henry, I saw the likes of Harvey Golden on this list recently. I'd rather shut-up for a while, and give some room for these very fine people to hopefully make some posts, etc. There are a lot of arm chair paddlers on this list, and that is okay. But I don't want to get in the way of significant paddlers who I'd love to sit back and listen too. BTW, my last post wasn't meant to be down on Duane - I just think we need to be careful about how we write about crossings, etc. I need to, too. PS If I don't back off PW a bit, my wife said she will pull my modem cord. That scares me. I don't want another "bobit" situation. :-) BC'in Ya Doug Lloyd HenryHast_at_aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 11/8/00 10:19:59 PM Eastern Standard Time, > dlloyd_at_telus.net writes: > > << Well, I will not be running-on-at-the mouth much further anymore at this > tme in the immediate future for a while.

So, reconsider, Doug.
