Re: No Rafting?
Sometimes searching the archives is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Thousands of unrelated messages can pop up. If the user is still on a slow dial up connection it can be incredibly tedious to search. New information can be gained on certain subjects too. (Not so much on this rafting question.) For example: the questions asked recently about digital cameras would have different answers than that of a year or two ago. The posters could also have other points of view that could be important. My first post asked where we could buy a refrigerator that would deliver to an island. If I had searched island deliveries, I would not have gotten the wonderful input that my refrigerator may just have gotten too cold to operate properly. (We will find out for sure in the spring. We also had slow dial up then too. Excruciating.) There might also have been a new business for delivering to islands. Searching is not always the best answer. Besides, chatting with people on the forum can be a social thing. We all have the love of the lake in common and want to stay connected and make new friends while we are away.
This is just one view regarding searching. I hope this post does not come across wrong. Often things written can be misinterpreted. I am not criticizing anyone here. Just pointing out a different angle. I hope this post is taken in the nature it was intended, helpful and friendly. I mean no disrespect to you or anyone contributing to the forum.
Sincerely,
