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.
