It really, REALLY ****es me off when someone -- the government of
Charlotte, NC, or Catawba County, or the Bank of America and other
corporate sponsors -- ANYone, bills himself as "the U. S.
National..."
as if they somehow represent me and my country.

If the Federal Government wants to establish such a place to train
US
competitors, then fine, I accept and agree, but for any other
entity to
try to pretend to national prominence by such sleazy monenclature
really -- uhhh, did I say? -- ****es me off.riverman wrote:

Wow, this topic is certainly bifurcating!

BTW, OhSeeJuan, what brought that on? Personally, I completely agree,
but
what did it have to do with my post about river ratings? Did you skip

breakfast again this morning??

Actually, this is the only part of the message that is ON topic. The
OP posted a link to the "National Whitewater Center", and the two
paragraphs above are my intended reply.

I am suspecting that everything from "riverman wrote:" on (my reply to
yer thread on river ratings), got appended when I imagined I was
pasting in my sig text, whilst, all unknowingly, I actually had that
other reply on my "clipboard".

I know that long reply about river ratings was on my clipboard at one
point because, as I began to reply I was interrupted (*work* does
occasionally rear its ugly haid) so I saved it as a text file for later
completion. I later continued in the text file until I was finished,
then copied it into my eMailer. *Voila*, it's on my clipboard! Then I
replied to *this* thread, but evidently failed to copy my sig (below)
onto the clipboard, before pasting. Another good argument for the
time-honored practice of proofreading before pressing that ol' "send"
button, eh?
