Far be it for me to disagree with a fellow Fairhurst (there's not that many of us about - well, not round here anyway), but the two forums are very different. Canalworld is a fairly earthy, practical forum and does pretty well in that regard. However it has approximately 0.002 lines per day of sensible commentary on the future direction of the waterways, which is where this list currently excels. If you were to try to have this funding discussion on Canalworld - and you're welcome to try - I can guarantee it would soon get sidetracked into name-calling and arguments about continuous cruisers. If you think Canalworld is more interesting than canals-list, well, the obvious answer is to read the former and unsubscribe from the latter. Personally I enjoy both (and urw) and don't take either too seriously! Richard
