RE: [Paddlewise] PaddleWise list censorship

	I agree with this. Moreover I know that I can get burned out.
Kirk has been doing this for a long time now and perhaps his interest
has flagged.  I contribute to Paddlewise because I believe that it's a
valuable resource and want to keep it active. I realize that it has a
west-coast of North America flavor now but that's only because the most
active participants just happen to live on the west coast; more or less.



	Craig, Dave, Kirk, et al,

	I don't want to speak for Jack.  Clearly, he has his own issue
here but his post triggered in me some of the frustration I have felt
lately.  I want to be very clear here...IT IS NOT MY INTENT TO HARASS
ANYBODY, especially Kirk whose efforts with this list are very much
appreciated.  My intent was to state my difficulties posting here in the
hope that they could be resolved.  Others have offered explaniations
that seem plausible and essentially outside my control and, I expect,
outside the control of the List organization.  So be it.  I realize now
that Craig and Dave and others may be able to communicate in a more
timely fashion because they most likely address their comments directly
to the other with a copy to the list.  I can see where that would speed
things up and make it look like your traffic moves quickly.

	I have received much good and useful information on this list
and, I hope, have been able to contribute a little useful info in
return.  Again, I feel frustrated in my ability to contribute when there
was a delay of days in previous posts.  I can, however, still receive
the info and stay in lurker mode.

	Craig mentioned that the list has a bit of a west coast of North
America flavor now.  Perhaps that's where the majority of the traffic is
from lately, but I know we have, and have had, people from many other
parts of NA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Austrailia, NZ, etc.
contributing.  Perhaps their traffic has lessened as the natural order
of list evolution sees people coming and going.  Or perhaps they have
difficulties as well.

	Bottom line for me is:

	1.   I don't want to harass anyone.
	2.   If this can't be fixed, I will go into lurker mode.
