Yes, I remember, and I'm sad to see how RBP has pretty much faded
away. As the few of us reading this know, some of us do still show
symptoms of terminal optimism and pop in now and again; just to see
if something interesting is happening.

Aside from the very occasional flame war, RBP was always one of the
more enjoyable and informative paddling discussion groups around
(amongst newsgroups, email lists, and website message boards). By
the way, has anyone seen any new stories from Ken Strickland? I miss
those too, and I wonder how he's doing, and what he's up to.


Yes, as a 60's singer put it: "Those were the days my friend, we thought
they'd never end...."

RBP was probably in its heighday in 1998. It rapidly went down the hill
after that. I'm glad to have tasted a bit of what it was like, with it
being more like a big family than a simple text based usenet group.

As for Ken Strickland, I think that he posted one or two more stories on
Boatertalk since he left RBP. Maybe they are in the Ken Strickland
collection of Pete Staehling's website?
