Recent postings on the history of Paddlewise's beginnings have led me to the conclusion that an innocent object has become the victim of "bad press". Its very name is shunned (and filtered) by heartless listserver moderators across cyberspace. Therefore I am proposing new terminology for this device that will not carry the nasty conotations which have been unfairly associated with it in the past. >From now on I will refer to that device as the E. S. A. D. - External Stability Augmentation Device I feel this new name has much to off to those on both sides of the argument. On the Pro side I offer Everyone Should Acquire Device Essential Suit (lawsuit) Avoidance Device Extra Stability Aids (the) Disabled Extra Stability Aids Daguerreotyping (ok you find a better word for photography that begins with a "D On the Con side: Excessive Spam Advertised Device Extreme Societal Aggrevation Device Each Spam Adds (to my) Disgust Extra Stability Adds Drawbacks Please join me in helping to free this innocent object from the shackles of "bad conotations". Contributtions can be sent to E.S.A.D.
