: While it may not be entirely his fault, I have taken the step of temporarily
: banning Mr. Roberts from the BBS.

: I will remove the ban in a while after things have calmed down here a bit.

: I regret that it came to this, but I felt I had to stand by my guidelines
: otherwise they are worthless. I decided the acrimony Mr. Roberts generated
: was no longer worth the otherwise interesting discussions which sometimes
: resulted. While he had recently posted some good and helpful information,
: his other posts seemed to dominate.

: I apologize to those who will miss Mr. Roberts input. I am uncomfortable in
: having to taken this step, but could not think of any other alternative.

: Thanks for your understanding.

Nick,

That must have been a tough decision.

I've been lurking and posting on this board for over three years now, I've seen a lot of folks come and go. One thing that kept me coming back (other than a love of kayak building) was the friendly atmosphere here, the discussions have been lively at times and thats a good thing.

Lately I haven't had much time to post, I just pop in from time to time and read some posts. I've noticed lately that there have been more and more threads involving people being rude to each other, George is usually central to these.

Once upon a time someone called the kbbs "Nicks electronic front porch" because it had that atmosphere about it, everyone was welcome to sit awhile and have a yarn.

Hopefully, we can now go back to the friendly atmosphere that we've usually had.

Cheers

Paul.
