Some meatball decided that sending 1 message to a newsgroup announcing
our website is spam. This group IS dedicated to boats correct? And
cruising correct?

Yes, but that doesn't make it a venue for free advertising. For every
"meatball" or "clown" or "net-nazi" who makes an attempt to prevent
spam, there are 15 people who are mortally offended that they cannot
take over USENET for their own profit.

If every person with a boat for sale, or a boat-related website, decided
to post announcements here, then any possible exchange of info would be
impossible.

Nobody wants to wade through 10,000 ads to discuss cruising, therefor
the threshold for ads has to be very low.

Now, discuss cruising or get thee gone.
