Comon, buddy!! What the hell did you do THAT for? Don't feed the freaking
trolls! Even if TnT is SKWNH (which I'm not convinced of either way yet),
poking the boy only gets him ****ing all over the group. Kman put it best on
another newsgroup that he was hoarding: he only wants to drag people into
contentious discussions that they cannot win.

I'm off for a couple of 10 day canoe trips in the wilds of Maine, leaving in
about 12 hours, so I'm gonna miss all the fireworks until I get to read the
backposts in mid June. But until then, TRY not to track this dogs**t all
over the house.

Oh, you know it! Spent the last 3 summers getting my Master's, and the
winters trapped in Congo. This will be the first extended trip (or two) that
I've managed to get on in 4 summers. Looking forward to remembering why I
quit doing it for a living.

The water in Maine is very high: about 90% of capacity, and the river we're
doing is going to be a lot of miles of intermittent class 2. Should be a lot
of fun...I'll post a TR when I get back.

Wilko already stepped in it, a quote from his web page:

"Recently a new addition to the list of RBP trolls showed up, although
maybe he should be regarded as a netkook instead. He's changed his
screen name several times, but he could be recognised by the sheer
volume of his posts. So far he's used TinkernTom, Hanta Yo-Yo,
RkyMtnHootOwl and lately Siskuwihane, also written as
"Sees-koo-wee-hah-nay". Alas, one of the people who went after him the
hardest had seemingly joined him in pestering RBP. Kman aka Kieran
couldn't stop responding to any post that RkyMtnHootOwl made, in effect
giving the troll the attention he craved, while doubling the nuisance
to RBP.

At the beginning of 2006, Kman started to notice that a lot of regulars
were ignoring him as well, and he started to behave much like the troll
he was complaining about the most, launching ad hominum attacks and
accusing others of elitism. Kman seems to have left RBP now (April
2006), but Siskuwihane is still around, recently joined again by his
own TinkernTom ID. "


Then being the expert on trolls, he maintains that you should never
feed a troll! Of course its different if you are an expert, then you
can do it all the time! If I am a troll then why did you feed me
Wilko!

Oh wait, you said I was a netkook, thats different! LOL!!!! OvO

Wilko,

The other way siskuwihane is written is simply how to pronounce it.
It's from the Leni Lenape.

He has us plonked so he won't hear anything you say! Ignorance is

I'm in East Cobb (near Roswell), I'm not sure you can get here from Decatur. g
Actually, I'm pretty much straight up GA 400 from there, on the way to Lake
Lanier.

Sounds like fun Riverman. I just got back from some ancestal homeland
wanderings and hope to honor my promise to myself not to waste this
summer (like too many in the past).

I suspect there are still lots of formerly active r.b.p folks who still
check the group. It is real easy to read these days since the number
of posts are way down. Most of the real disruptors are known and the
Google profile is an easy way to access posting histories. A couple of
clicks easily reveals an individual's web persona.

I have always believed that using signing with real life names keeps
one honest and accountable. Maybe that is why there was such a solid
core to r.b.p years back - we all used our IRL names. Hard to build
relationships with phantoms.

One my flight back to the US, I flew over Labrador and had my nose
glued to the window. Looks like a very interesting place to paddle.
Anyone with experience there?

FWIW, I've been participating on usenet for 21 years and have always posted
under my RL name.

Check out a book called "Rowing to Latitude". In it, the author and her
husband row (he paddles a kayak for some of the trips) the coast of
Labrador, as well as several other expediations including most of the
coastline of Alaska, the Yukon river, a good portion of Greenland, the
entire coastline of Norway, and a circumnavigation of Spitzbergen. Even
though the author rows (a boat that was converted from a Necky Amaruk tandem
kayak), the book is well written and it sounded like Labrador was one of the
most enjoyable expeditions.

I actually have the book and read it a couple of years back. Thanks
for the reminder - I will go back and re-read it. I recall that they
did not like Greenland very much because it was so trashy (who would've
thought). And I loved the ToughLuckKabloona wedding vow.

The interior of Labrador looked awesome. I also read the Davidson &
Rugge book Great Heart. Of course, one would like to avoid the death
by starvation experience. It does look like a place that someoe could
go and get lost for a while.

The ice was off most of Hudson Bay with some still in parts of James
Bay (NW side mostly) and some off the NE coast of Labrador.

As for naming, you were actually one of a number of r.b.p people who
inspired me to use my RL name in my usenet newbie days. I think it was
the high number of "real people" who made the group as strong as it was
for a while. On the flip side , it has to be remembered that both
Scottt W. and Tim I. used their RL names too.

Wilko, fer crying out loud!!
 

Some friends of mine paddled the Eagle River in Labrador recently, two
in kayaks and two in OC1's. There are lots of flies, and portages are
difficult. Some other friends paddled the Pinware a few years ago. I
think they ran more rapids -- they didn't have any OC1's. Same trouble
with flies. Someone got sent to the hospital from bites. There's a
river guide book written by Jim Price and another guy (can't remember
the other author or the name of the book) that has some description of
rivers in Labrador.

An article in the most recent edition of Ebb and Flow magazine, the
provincial kayaking association's magazine, is about a couple who
paddled Ungava Bay and the coast of Labrador. You can view the article
from
http://www.kayakers.nf.ca/club_activ...e/ebb_flow.htm
