You know, if you're going to complain about somebody flooding a
newsgroup,
it would probably be a good idea to get the name of the newsgroup right.

This is rec.boats.paddle. There is no such heirarchy as "recreation".

Actualy we are both correct. rec.boats.paddle is an accepted
abbreviation but if you sign up for this group the first broad
catagory is "recreation" not rec. Type them both into a google search
and it takes you to the same place. Gotta love it.....

And already we are seeing a return the the RBP chatter of olde!

Pointlessly arguments about things that have nothing to do with
boating! :-)

Yeah, but it shows numbers so people actually stop and check (even
SponsonBoy's post do that), and then they're here
and might stay.

And I'd be pretty amazed at any ISP that didn't know that "rec" stood for
"recreation", but whatever.

It's way too cold and nasty here for much paddling, so gotta amuse ourselves
somehow. �One disadvantage to plastic boat -
in the "olden days" you could spend the winter discussing major repairs and
tear-downs. �Now, not so much...

Too cold? Why, is the water solid?

I live in Missouri, and my home river is the Saint Francis. If the
water's liquid, people paddle! I've paddled in below 0 Celsius temps
and had ice forming on my paddle, and when it was raining ice too. But
as long as the water's liquid, and exists...

John, I have paddled the St. Francis River in the past, as well as the
Little SF, Big Creek, the Eleven Point and the Current when I was in
the area. All lovely rivers, and I look forward to doing them again
someday. As a Michigan-based paddler, we never put the canoes away
for the winter. There are spots that stay ope in the cities, and a
few natural-flow rivers that are spring-fed. I remember a couple
winters ago a bunch of us with boats on top pulled into a restaurant
in February and wiped out the parking lot for the snow machines that
came later. Boy, did we get some strange looks!

Now, how about starting a BOATING controversy that has nothing to do
with sp******ns or ISPs. How about reviving the straps vs. ropes
arguement and we'll have a showdown between the trucker's hitchers and
the cam bucklers?
