Jackie, 'hats off' and a large 'THANK YOU' for your splendid work and time in maintaining and overseeing this email list. As a big-time lurker and small contributor to this list, I have found, as many I am sure, that it has certainly been an educational, informative, and entertaining list. We do hope to hear from you and of course to see some more of that wonderful artwork of yours. ;) And thanks to Kirk for his time in continuing this good tradition. > paddling trips with one-another.

No WONDER there were a gazillion messages today. I didn't realizing retirement was an option, Jackie. I guess the benefits package was too temping :) More time to paddle! I'm assuming you will remain as a subscriber. Thanks to Jackie and Kirk for preventing us all from going into serious withdrawal. sandy kramer *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Thanks for all the kind words! :-) Yup, I'll be hanging around and posting as a member (I've missed being able to post as a member... as I did before becoming list-owner, and I'll try to not give Kirk heartburn in the process :-) I would also like to offer my help with the PaddleWise website, updating topics, etc., and of course, continuing to add to the Paddling With Pooches gallery on the GASP website (I have a westie youngster that needs to be introduced to paddling). A side note, folks will now need to clear the PaddleWise logo stuff with Kirk. Happy paddling!

Hey, Jackie, the past 2 months has been a lot of fun on Paddlewise. Thanks for everything. Does the following mean that you will have more time to draw pink flamingos for us? I hope so. Marinell P.S. Can Kirk draw pink flamingos? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Fenton" <jackie_at_muddypuppies.com> > Thanks for all the kind words! :-) > > Yup, I'll be hanging around and posting as a member (I've missed being > able to post as a member... as I did before becoming list-owner, and I'll > try to not give Kirk heartburn in the process :-) I would also like to > offer my help with the PaddleWise website, updating topics, etc., and > of course, continuing to add to the Paddling With Pooches gallery on > the GASP website (I have a westie youngster that needs to be introduced > to paddling). > > A side note, folks will now need to clear the PaddleWise logo stuff with > Kirk. > > Happy paddling! > > Jackie *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

My apologies on not being able to nuke the bashing thread. I'm still getting used to the filters. Just my luck my first day on the job is about the busiest in 6 months. It's my job to keep the list civil and socially acceptable for the subscribers who may range in age from 10 through 110. As such it's a dictatorship, it has been run as one and needs to continue. If I'm not a benevolent dictator everyone will leave and Bob Myers will stop hosting the list. If folks don't want to be civil or want to wander off topic please reply directly or there are lots of other forums available. Jackie has done a great job with the list. She had on order of 200 different things filtered to go to the administrator prior to making it to the list. As you can see from my first day on the job it isn't all that hard for things to get ugly.
