Re: [Paddlewise] black hulls

I think it best to publicly sign-off the "black hulls" thread at this
point.

While certainly an interesting, entertaining, and occasionally informative
exchange, at this point (at least to my senses) what's left is more heat
than light.  If only from a signal-to-noise ratio perspective, it's time to
move on to other things.  Besides, real work beckons, so the water and
PaddleWise will have to wait their turn once again.

Anyone owed a response from me, either from a post to the list or through
email to me directly, will receive it privately, as time allows.  I'll do
my best not to miss anyone in the process.

It's certainly been an interesting, entertaining, and occasionally
informative exchange.  I'm glad not to have missed it.  Sometimes a
spirited discussion is as invigorating as a good, fast paddle on a brisk
fall day.

I stand by all that I've said, from my first post in the thread to the
last.  The only thing I might change, given 20/20 hindsight, is that in
message (id that is) <20021001012650.A3705_at_cayuga.phonogram.net> I would
have split the distinct discussion sections in two, posting each as a
separate message, so as to make the delineation even clearer.

Good paddling to all.  And may your boats remain just as pristine or worn
as suits your particular fancy.
