I just got an email from someone suggesting that another subscriber was harvesting email addresses from the paddlewise mailing list, and then sending advertizing to those harvested addresses. This makes me very unhappy. Should this occur anyone doing it will be removed from the mailing list and they will be added to the list of people prevented from subscribing (ala sponsonguy). So an abbreviated list of mailing list rules. No harvesting addresses, No forwarding posts without permission, no advertizing, keep it on topic, keep it civil and socially acceptable (don't say anything you would not be willing to say to your grandmother or the 10 year old that lives next door). Other rules may exist and can be created at my discretion ;-) On a more positive note I would like to add 2 sections to the paddlewise site and I'm looking for a referrals. I would like to put links from the paddlewise site to event calendars. I don't want to get in the business of maintaining the calendar. Ideally it would be one site per continent. For the USA (hopefully canada, and mexico too) http://www.seakayakermag.com/eventscal2.htm is my first prospect. The second section I would like to add is for accident reports. The American Whitewater Association has an elaborate setup of accident reports at http://www.americanwhitewater.org/archive/safety/reporting.htm If someone wanted to do that level of work that's great. Deep Trouble involved a lot of work for the authors. My thought was for an online place to read reports as they came in. Even just a collection of the accident reports that came in to paddlewise would be good. I'm not looking to be all encompassing, like the AWA, just a random collection of "this could happen to you". Once again, if this already exists I would be perfectly happy to link to that site. If anyone follows this up subjects of "Event Calendar" or "Accident reports" will be much more appropriate if you are replying to those sections of this message. kirk *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
