It doesn't contain the word "kayak" because it is not exclusively about
kayaking - it is a paddling newsgroup and includes canoeists and other
paddlers.

The main reasons for it's demise over time have largely gone - Uncle
Timmy is no longer an issue (his health isn't what would be required to
post here) and the Snot Weiner seems to have trucked off for other
venues to annoy. I can't think of a reason for the paddlers to migrate
back here.

Hi Michael. Don't forget The Burning Man. I think Njall proboably
did as much damage to r.b.p as Sponson-boy did.

I was just reading a profile of Rocky Contos in the American
Whitewater journal. It brought back memories of a vibrant and useful
r.b.p, and then it actually referred to Rockies posts of his exploits
during the halcyon years of r.b.p in the late '90s. Worth a read if
you have access to a copy.
