Sorry, I don't want that job 8-) I spend enough time maintaining the list (too much) and do not want to conduct research to find out if a manufacturer is being honest with me or may be exaggerating when they want to introduce a "new" product. Besides, from the position of a subscriber and not a list-owner, I would not want these type of promotions on my list. Each year there are a lot of new kayak designs, a lot of new paddling gear and what about those in the outfitting business? Shouldnt' they, too, be then allowed to announce the new trips they've added to their itinerary? What about new sports bars and new tents and camp stoves and water-proof cameras...? We could be reading nothing but new product announcements for paddlers.
