Whitewater outfitter/dealer address list --------------------------------------------------------------- From: rsk@itw.com (Rich Kulawiec) Newsgroups: rec.boats.paddle,news.answers,rec.answers Subject: Whitewater outfitter/dealer address list Date: 29 Jul 1997 08:16:45 GMT Expires: 11 Sep 1997 08:15:25 GMT X-Last-Updated: 1997/01/20 Archive-name: whitewater-addr Version: $Header: ww.addr,v 1.23 1997/01/20 17:53:44 rsk Exp $ Copyright 1997 by Rich Kulawiec. --------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the latest version of the whitewater address list. Many folks have suggested adding Internet addresses/URLs (where known) for the various dealers and vendors, so if you have them, please send them along. I'm especially interested in contact points for paddling clubs and whitewater racing events. READ THIS NOTE: I receive an average of hundreds of mail messages per day. If you want to make sure that your update/correction/reply to this article comes to my attention when I'm working on the next version, please send your message as a reply to this article, i.e. make absolutely certain that you preserve the "Subject:" line. If you don't do this, your reply may sit in one of my numerous mail queues for months or even years. Please don't send an update more than once -- doing so only adds to the queue that I have to process when doing updates. If you want to make certain that I've received something, then make a note of the information on the "Version:" line above. If it has changed when you next see this article, and your information isn't included, then I've missed it. Otherwise, it's safe to presume I've got it and it queued for inclusion. The FAQ may be reproduced and propagated via http, ftp, gopher or other common Internet protocols by anyone provided that (1) it is reproduced in its entirety (2) no fee is charged for access to it and (3) it's kept up-to-date. This latter is probably best accomplished by mirroring one of the FAQ archives -- that way you'll get a new copy everytime I update it, which is approximately monthly. (If you do put it up on the web, I'd like to know the URL, but that's not a requirement. It just would be nice.) Reproduction of this FAQ on paper, CDROM or other media which are sold is permissible only with the express written consent of its author. If you are reading a copy of this document which appears to be out-of-date, there are a variety of methods that you can use to retrieve the most current method. If you are familiar with access to the FAQ archives via mail, ftp, and www, then you already know how. If not, then send email to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the command "send usenet/news.answers/news-answers/introduction" in the message, and a complete guide to FAQ retrieval will be mailed to you. ---Rsk Credits and salutations for typing in this stuff should go to: 6600raft%ucsbuxa@hub.ucsb.edu (Michael Wise) HEALY_J@gold.colorado.edu andyh@microsoft.com (Andy HELD) billd@informix.com (William Daul) brennan@hal.com (Dave Brennan) carlson@franz.com cbwierda@ar14darlrk.er.usgs.gov (Clark B.
