Scott Bemis was also a member of Paddlewise for a while (I think he left 
because of what he perceived to be anti-sponson bias), and the unnamed person 
who had witnessed or experienced a couple of tows might be Bill Newman, another 
sometime Paddlewisenheimer.

All in all, a well-balanced (no sponsons required!) and well-researched report, 
but as a technical writer I am affronted not only by the typos, but by the fact 
that the PDF was created by scanning rather than from the source document, 
which would have made the PDF searchable.
