I have recently read a lot of acrimonious posts on this BBS that achieve absolutely nothing positive. I have not read the guidelines and don't plan to. We live in a civilized society. Let's all show a little respect, especially to our host, and remember that this BBS is an excellent forum for the exchange of ideas and information about building kayaks. Although I contribute only occasionally, I am a "lurker", gleaning useful hints, tips and information every day. I am building a boat now. I already have the plans for my next boat. I have 35 plus years experience on the water and a great love for anything that floats. I enjoy reading others successes and problems because I can learn from them. Recent threads teach me only that we have a long way to go in the manners department. Would it be too much to ask for a truce, maybe an apology or two and then a return to what we all love - building and paddling? My 2cents worth.
