Richard, have you tried sending a message to Cintibud via BT's "email
member" option. I'm pretty sure he hangs out there.

Hey there, ol' long tall good guy! I was just (yesterday) lookin' at a
Julie Keller Fitzpatrick shot (on the AW website) of you running the
Cascades of the Nantahala.

I s'pose I could try that, though BoaterTalk is such a joke I heven't
been there for years!


Thanks for the note,

Boatertalk's only half a joke now! The joke's now unilateral! Boatertalk has
been split into a boating-only forum and Liquid Lounge, for all the non-boating
chatter. The split has been incredibly successful too! Plus, now if you are a
BT member, you can filter out posts by other BTers who's posts you don't want
to see! (I get filtered a lot! :-) )

John Kuthe...

IMO BT has changed considerably recently, moving most of the nonesense
to an off-topic forum of its own.

I must admit that I have not spent much time there in the last two
months, ever since I lost my fast internet connection at home (I've
been waiting for a glassfibre connection that is about to be connected
to my house in the next couple of weeks), besides, I went on a two week
kayaking holiday in Greece.

Slowly picking up the connection to the different forums again, but
untill I get a fast connection at home, I don't have the time to keep
up with all of them.
