[Paddlewise] Shooting from the hip

I greatly appreciate the indepth review of the difficulties of running 
chat groups etc.provided by Rich Kulawiec and others. I promise to 
buy his book as soon as it comes out. Don't know if I will be able 
to understand it. 

None-the-less, the very restrictive publishing rules that govern our 
ability to quote from published sources or re-publish, with 
attribution, information published by Paddlewise contributors has 
often caused me, and perhaps others, to be constantly on "pins 
and needles" regarding whether a given post will make it through or 
die a silent death in the screen bin. To facilitate getting through, I 
usually just post the subject on-line address and invite folks to 
"look it up", with out going into what is being looked up. It has often 
seemed inordinately easy to get into unnecessary or unjustified 
trouble on on this list. This is unfortunate since I think the 
international membership and high quality of contributions to this 
site are a worthy contribution to the paddling community. Many 
Paddlewise subscribers participate in other local chat groups, 
making Paddlewise have a truly broad reach to the larger paddling 
community.
