Believe it or not, there are more controversial topics in life beyond what type of anchor to use or whether using a bow thruster means you're not a real pilot. I tried to think of a specific topic that is very controversial and has strong differing opinions. Abortion came to mind. Check out the abortion-debate page on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_debate Note that there are ways to present differing opinions in a polite and respectful manner. Note also the "discussion" tab at the top. This is where other people can give their opinions, all tied nicely together with the factual content in one place. The page doesn't give any type of "here is the answer" opinion. It presents the issues in a way that a normal person can learn from. The topics, questions, and issues that we face with trawlering could fit into this same model. I'm not going to make any additional posting about wiki's or Trawlerpedia or anything else like that. It's really not on topic and I fear that it is being beat to death a little. There are about 10-15 people who have contacted me and are interested in making a prototype for T&T. When that prototype is complete, we'll make a posting so interested people can try it. ...Jeff M/V aCappella Moored in Georgetown, Maine after getting beat up in 5 foot seas weather will stop us from getting home tomorrow :-(
