There are perhaps a million vendors that think they have something

The point EXACTLY......Can you imagine if Waste Marine were to tell us
about all the stuff they think should be useful to us on this newsgroup?
How about the pornographers coming over from
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.(place your perversion here)? They all think
they have something useful to us, too. Should they all spam r.b.c, too?
It's mighty lonely at sea...

Bull****. If nothing is done to stop the flow of spam, the newsgroup will
sound like your local talk radio station....completely loaded with every
boat spammer on the planet. Brunswick alone would flood this place to the
gunwales with Sea Rayliner spam.....

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO....PLEASE?

I don't give a damn if his crap will sail the boat while you're screwing
your girlfriend in the v-berth....IT DOESN'T BELONG HERE!
