Dave, if you have read all of that, you should know that it's no use
talking to a deranged individual.

A lot of RBP'ers have tried reasoning with this lunatic in the past, but
all failed, simply because you can't reason with someone who is
unreasonable.

He has been kicked out by some of his internet providers, and his email
has been mailbombed (thanks John :-) ), but every couple of years he
starts his rants here once more. Luckily there is hardly anyone left to
notice, but responding to his posts invariably results in even more of his
drivel being spewed. Don't feed the sick puppy, because he will barf all
over you (and everyone else on RBP). Please ignore him from now on!

Not to mention which, someone who wanted sponsons could easily make them,
and a lot of canoes designed for fishing come with what amounts to the same
thing. I know any number of people who have them (and, irony of ironies,
the one person I know personally who drowned while fishing was using a canoe
that had sort of a outrigger/sponson dealy he could use, but he didn't
attach it - though he probably had a heart attack and drowned, rather than
falling out and drowning.)

Ingram seems to think that the whole human race is too appallingly stupid to
figure out that if you want floaty things, you're entitled to attach them to
your boat - or to yourself (floatation devices - what a concept!).

As the canoeists little book of wisdom (or paddler's, I forget which),
says - "Always wear brightly colored flotation devices while paddling frigid
artic waters - it makes it *so* much easier to retrieve the bodies".

Sponsons are and always have been available to anyone who wants to
make/buy/attach them. Be happy - do we want to think of what the man would
fixate on if this particular crusade came to fruition?
