Yeah, I posted something as a test balloon, and got no replies.

I miss the old rbp also, and I don't find Boatertalk to be a good
substitute. Too many folks there...too many 'experts' with a narrow
range of experience, and the posting style (content in the header)
seems too much like a group SMS-fest.

I still have some great stuff to share, if rbp wasn't so dead. Summer
of 2006 I ran the first descent of the Delger-Muron river in Outer
Mongolia...I owe Canoe&Kayak magazine an article on it, but I never
got around to writing it...

I still check in regularly, but have moved mostly to Yahoo activity
specific groups. Usenet was a great forum in its day, but it has a
limited lifetime. Google and Yahoo are working hard to make it go
away. Fewer and fewer ISP provide newsgroup access.

Terrific! If we've got Riverman back, can Rocky and Oc1canubi be far behind?

Always enjoyed reading your stories, Riverman. Most likely have them saved
someplace. Tom in MD

Last time I was very active I had just sent you a boat. I hope it
didn't sink or anything when you put it together, or, if it did you
were shallow water at least. Is that thing still floating or has it
gone to that great boatyard in the sky?
