[very large snip] wow, i hadn't realized how long i've been "hanging around" you folks until i read this!! i truely appreciate the work involved in running the list!! i have done a similar thing for a local paddling list/website, the Colorado Paddler's Resource, and after problem after problem, we now run the mail server from our house. our ISP serves the web pages, the mailserver in our "office" bedroom is connected to the net via dialup phone line, as there is no type of high speed access where we live. it would be cool to have dsl/cable modem connection. you and jackie gave me the "courage" to start a local mailing list. i'm proud to be a "plank owner" of paddlewise & gasp. the enormity of the contribution the two of you have made to the paddling community cannot even be measured [not to slight kirk, it really has been the three plus of you ;-] you are apprciated more than can be expressed in email ;-) THANK YOU mark -- #------seakayaker[at]dotzen[dot]org-----/------------------------------ mark zen o__/ o_/| o_. po box 474 [\/ [__| [__\ ft. lupton, co 80621-0474 `\--------/--------/' (`----|-------\-') http://www.dotzen.org/folks/markz ~~/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~~~~_at_~~~~~ #---------------------------------------------------------------------- A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner. ~~ English Proverb http://www.dotzen.org/paddler - The Colorado Paddlers' Resource *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
