i was one of 3 or 4 people who chimed in asking for succinct net replies. i have now received some rather mean-spirited public (and private) chastisement which i do not appreciate. of course i am happy to remove my signature! i am <not> happy though to have it put down, or to be slammed for <having> a signature. is that necessary? i feel like i don't want to write stuff here any more, especially after being criticized for my "dozens of posts". well, gee, i'm sorry for using paddlewise as a resource and for asking questions and being curious. but....then.... what <is> paddlewise for? is it just a macho i-can-paddle-rougher-conditions-than-you contest? i really am perplexed. kcd *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

The only public response I've seen to your message was what I perceived as a good natured tease about your signature to which I concur. I didn't understand your sig either. As a matter of fact, I thought you intended it to be ambiguous and silly. > but....then.... what <is> paddlewise for? is it just a macho > i-can-paddle-rougher-conditions-than-you contest? Now *this* is uncalled for. I diagnose a lack of sense of humor and prescribe a chill pill.
