Hi folks, Thought I would mention that any PaddleWiser responding to Kate O'Hara's request for permission to use their quotes might want to consider whether permission can or will be provided to outside interests once they have passed their right to authorization over to Ms. O'Hara. Because of past experience with Tim and his violation of copyright laws and unlawful use of PaddleWise quotes in both his promotion of his sponsons on his website as well as a continued email bombing to various groups which includes the US Coast Guard (I think he has given up on the Canadian Coast guard), I would be concerned that he may use the quotes to promote his sponsons once these quotes are outside the protection of PaddleWise and its individual contributers. With a good deal of behind-the-scenes battling, I've been able to persuade his various ISPs to stop this abuse of PaddleWise postings by Tim Ingram. However, once you permit the use of your quotes outside the protection of PaddleWise, there is no guarantee how they will be used or abused. I don't know what Ms. O'Hara's intent is for use of these quotes. Actually, I don't know anything about Ms. O'Hara's intent. Will the quotes be made available on a public website? If the US Coast Guard decides the quotes warrant a mandate on carrying sponsons, can they post the quotes elsewhere? Questions you should think about.....
