PaddleWise was set up so that we *could* discuss sponsons....without
Tim's spam and abusive rantings.

cheers, jackie

Thanks Jackie! I kind of know that. I guess I was trying to make a broad
concession in a round about way to the folks on the list who might be
annoyed with the sponson threads. The last time we had a go round on
this subject, there was some dismay noted from a number of quarters. But
I suppose those folks, like as with any other thread they don't want to
read, can simply deleate/pass by -- just like one does with their TV
channel button.

As mentioned before (changing lanes here), I did get a backchannel reply
from Kaitlin, with a fuller explanation and contact names. I wonder if
anyone else got the same info backchannel as I did, and why she didn't
state more of the context of her email to me, *up front* on PW and
rec.boat. I'll be calling her superiors early next week, and will report
back as appropriate and in good faith. Nevertheless, I do appreciate her
considered response and ultimately think PW is as good as any a place to
discuss safety devices, of which sponsons qualify. Some of the humour
was worth all the effort too (at least I enjoyed Rob's post -- other
certain goof-balls, no).

left to only dream about being out in the gale today)
