NYCkayaker Cigarettes et al

[Joe Wojak]

Wow, you know, I've found this whole dialoge about the boat races and
kayaking on the Hudson truly sad.

Words like juvenile and canard have been bandied about in the anonimity of
email chat and the impression I take from the whole listserv on this subject
is is small, cheap, and petty.  This is a forum of much smoke and
bloviation.  I'm  unsubscribing.  Y'all aren't ready.
