I hope someome lays out the "legend of Paddlewise" for Rich Dempsey, because it is worth knowing how this forum came to be. It was a lesson for me, as a person normally virulently opposed to censorship. My sometimes off-the-wall paddling buddy refers to things like this as a "community of discourse." As in all communities, there need to be agreed-upon operating principles ... and operating principles require enforcers, perforce. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
