Ooops, my bad.

Ain't the intertubes eductional? (c;

I wish rpb still hadn't seen so many fine and fun posters drift away
as a result of the sponsonboy attacks (and trashing by burntnutjob and
others)

It's not just rbp, it seems all of usenet has seen a similar attrition
as people get bored, burn out, or move to web-based forums.
Whatshisname surely didn't help, and there's somebody like him on nearly

again: useful for a sailing kayak, unnessary for fla****er and
dangerous for whitewater use. My $.02.
