(William R. Watt) typed:

what you need is formal instruction from a certified paddling instructor.
You must take at least four courses, then attach the framed certificates
autographed by your wealthy certified paddling instructors...


Bwaaaahaaaahaaaaahaaaa... Willy What said "wealthy ... paddling
instructors", totally trashing any vestige of credibility he might
have in his verbal war against formal instruction.

Newsflash, William: there is no such thing as a "wealthy paddling
instructor", certified or otherwise. They do it for love of the
sport, accepting the fact that they will earn considerably less than
an average middle-class income in either yer country or mine.

How can you wage war against the concept of formal paddling
instruction when you (as clearly demostrated by this *faux pas*) have
obviously never met a certified instructor?

Jeez, yer cause (I said "yer cause", not "you") is moronic (though
sometimes I do wonder if you are just not too bright). Maybe all
those physicians should stop squandering their money on formal
instruction at expensive medical schools, and just hang up a shingle
and learn on the job? Maybe the RCMP should save tax money by not
giving the Mounties the expensive training they do today? Maybe the
RCAF should send its pilots up to teach themselves how to fly, rather
than paying those wealthy certified flying instructors? Maybe
professional, high-school, and youth-club hockey teams should do
without all those wealthy (certified?) coaches?

OK, OK; computer programming for scientific research also matters.
