Dear Peter and List,

I think Peter make a very valid point about exposing ourselves to the WWW 
public in general.  I am certainly willing to be a Tier 1, 2 and maybe even 
someday a Tier 3 person to Paddlewisers, because I believe that people who 
do what we do are mostly good souls and I would want to associate with 
them.  The rest of the world I'm not so sure about.

I think this sounds like a good way to go.   I'm always reluctant to 
suggest things when I can't add a lot of effort to see them put into action 
and I'm afraid that is the case now.  Because of job and rebuilding our 
house constraints, I haven't even been on the water since last July.  I 
hope to change that soon.   Peter, I would be glad if you (or anyone else) 
could pick up this idea and develope it some more.
