Re: [Paddlewise] PaddleWise list censorship

Brad:
I'm sorry for your blockage problems Brad. Prunes? Mineral oil? 
Suppositories? Maybe good old fashion Exlaxs?

Brad said: >This may or may not be relevant to this discussion, but several 
of my friends and I had the experience that our e-mails were being blocked, 
not for content, but  for shear volume of traffic generated. The blocking 
rules were installed by the ISP at the other end. But at least there were 
warning notices of the blockages. The curious thing is that people who had 
paid good money for internet service were being denied the very e-mail they 
wished to receive. Brad Crain<

Bill said, snip > 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.<

I always enjoy every last post, even late ones. Heck, I send late ones 
myself. I usually don't care if the discussion is over. Sometimes my 
messages don't show up. I don't care either - usually after I vent, the 
subject disinterests me almost right away. Sometimes it is a good thing they 
don't show up as I don't retain a lawyer. As for posts on the list showing 
up near the end of the discussion - I'm usually anticipating a last-word 
funny from Brad. I try to get the last word on him once in a while - though 
it's hard.

BTW, some discussions should stay backchannel but we all agreed more or less 
a couple years back that we would cc the list if possible.

Craig;
Miss you on Westcoastpaddler. Your participation allowed much of your wisdom 
to be more easily accessible in perpetuity and searchable on the forum 
index. Oh well, at least with Paddlewise we never have ignominy ensuing due 
to a paddler's geographical approximation. That's due to good moderation 
though we often decry it (an active moderator, that is, restricting certain 
discussions).

I still miss Jackie (there's only one true list mom in my universe). And the 
Professor, of course. Heard he was showing the Inuit how to jig for Cod with 
a crotch dirrigible and he got snagged and taken out to sea and lost. I 
always enjoyed the humour - hook, line and stinker.
