I didn't want to be Scrooge at first even though I suspected that Craig's wish was something I had seen before, and since there is confirmation of that feeling I will now say "humbug".

However worthy, Craig's wish is off topic and I would rather keep the BB focused on kayak building. A line needs to be drawn somewhere and even important information that is otherwise off-topic should be left to regular email.

Regular contributers to the BB, such as Mark (we ignore most of what he says anyway :P ), are permitted some liscense in this respect. My main concern is I don't want this to be a place for Heather Vavoom to let us know about the nice photographs of her and her fellow co-eds. While I appreciate art, and may find her information to be of interest, this is not the forum for such notices. There are also other ways we can learn about Gail Carnegi's system to make $$$$$$ fast.

So in the interest of the BB degenerating, lets keep to subjects that have something to do with boat building. If Craig is a kayaker, Heather found intereting new things to do with fiberglass and epoxy, or Gail's system involves plywood, that works for me.
