I agree that people should be respectful. But as with other lake accidents, many of us think it is important to discuss and understand so that we and others will avoid trouble in the future. If we do not do it now, the conversation will never happen. Just as one example of how this can work well--mswlogo has posted that he is rethinking his own cold water kayaking
