Jack, et al, I joined Paddlewise around the same time as you and lately I have become aware that my ability to effectively join discussions has been diminished. While Craig, Doug, Dave and others can conduct a discussion essentially in real time, I find my posts take days to show up. I once questioned this and I was told that my posts would show up sooner if I stripped off the "Paddlewise" message at the bottom. So I obeyed this but it didn't seem to make a difference. Maybe it's a "top post/bottom post" etiquette thing. Anyway, when a subject gets discussed where I want to add my input, I have resisted doing so (this being an exception). I feel that by the time it shows up no one cares anymore.
