scott said >"you can lead a horse to water, but you can't > make it drink". That's correct... but you can put salt in his oats.

Not to be narcissistic here, but just wanted to bring the > thoughts back to earth. :) The thought wasn't about a "safety" video. It was a video "checklist". IE: "Congratulations on buying a boat -- now don't be stupid - go learn about cold water, about clothing, about rescues, etc. And, by the way, my store has some resouces for you at a very reasonable price." Really, is that any different than advertising - except this one hits kayakers with pin point accuracy? It's kind of like your tag line below.... you're simply influencing the situation. > Scott Simpson > "There is always one more thing you can do to influence any situation" > Lt.
