[Paddlewise] Fw: Nomenclature

Very well said John. Lately, some of the people on this group have been
reading too much into a lot of things. There was one woman, who sent me a
congratulatory email concerning the tongue in cheek remark, I had made
concerning your first post about sponsons. She said you needed to be taken
down a notch and totally missed the point that I was actually agreeing with
you.

I think some of these people need to get out and paddle more instead of
discussing all of the "scientific" aspects of paddling.

Is this the dumming down forum of paddlesport?

OHHH Jackie, who would have guessed that Paddlewsie would seek the lowest
common language denominator  when you began it with high hopes of a forum
for knowledge. Should we dress in sack cloth and smear ashes of linguistic
humiliation on our collective terminals?

Have you created a Babel of paddling where we speak in tongues?

OHHH,  Jackie. In Paddlewise we say what we think and even when we can't
think we can say it anyway. OHH Joy OHH Frumjous JOY Sound and fury
signifying nothing and having even less meaning. Say what you like any way
you like and no one will send a raspberry your way. But try for one minute
to get it right and the legions of obfuscation pucker their collective lips
in derision.

Persecute the scholars! Damn the seekers of truth! What is left but the long
dark night of the ignorant soul.


Not so many Cheers,

John Winters
