Tell me where in the FAQ for this newsgroup that it says one can not
post things of a commercial nature? Honestly, I don't think eBay cares
what I do in a newsgroup, it is beyond their control or concern, so if
it makes ya feel better...

Well there's a progressive attitude for ya.

How many orders have you got so far from the 35 or 40 people who *might* read
this group on a regular basis (About 1/3 of them don't own boats)?
