[PUP] PPM - An idea for how to restructure the topic

[bob england]

On the topic of how to restructure the topic, I feel that if you want to
discuss skookums, krogens, norhavns, etc, in detail, that you should probably
start another thread. We're gettin a little to much drift here. I would really
rather read about the wiki site or thoughts on how to put this info into a
usable format for future viewers. If I google PPM and get lots of hits about a
certain make of boat then our efforts here on the subject are diminished. >
