First and foremost, I am astonished! I absolutely, positively cannot believe I have inadvertently managed to do something diplomatic.
Secondly, my sincere apologies to Uncle Nick for igniting a brouhaha -- first Yemen, then Egypt, and now the Guillemot KBB facing massive popular uprising. My god, what was I thinking?
Seriously, I have complete and utter trust in the leadership of this board, and pledge my unconditional support in whatever decisions are reached. Unless, of course, they don't suit me just exactly to a tee, whereby I shall then piss and moan, and maybe even call people names, like a good American. And if it stays just like it is, I will continue to enjoy it. Unless, of course, something annoys me again and I have to bitch about it. In any case, I illustrate my point with a photo showing a hacked-up piece of weatherstrip. The more I look at it, the more convinced I become that ageless wisdom of the universe lies within.
PS: THANK YOU Nick Schade for all you do, to our incalculable benefit! I toast you and the sawdust you track into the house with a frosty cold Shiner Hefeweizen - Cheers, sir! Cheers!
: Hi all
: Kurt recently posted, in remarkably diplomatic terms for a redneck
: Texan kayak builder, that he would like some of the features of
: a more modern forum.
: Add my vote for upgrading the BBS too.
: I *really* appreciate the free access and advice available here,
: and I am super impressed that it has been operational since
: 1996! Now that was embracing technology.
: But I bet Nick would get more search results, links and casual
: browsers via a more modern forum (passed through from this
: address), hosted on on the Guillemot Kayaks website, with a
: preserved link back to the old forum for searching etc. Forum
: posts rarely crop up on Google searches whereas, for example,
: WordPress blog articles with good category and tags attached
: return very high results, and I bet a more modern forum would
: similarly increase Google search results for information.
: It would also be fun to do stuff like polls, link to multiple
: photos, link to other sites, edit responses, etc.
: Cheers, Ian
