NOYBy will try to get his teeth into it...
And Chuck will write a review if he can get a free ride or ad... :-}
Of course he will, Chuck writes for a boating magazine and that is
what they do. If it wasn't for those ads, we would not have any
boating magazines.
Chucks articles about the boats he sees are as good as any I have
read, and when he reposts them in rec.boats, they always stir up great
on topic posts.
Some of them are fun to read, as I have commented from time to time, but
they're advertorials, with the emphasis on "ad."
I don't disagree with you, but those "ads" or "reviews" are most new
boaters introduction to the different boats on the market. As long as
people understand (and I think most readers understand) they are not
critical reviews of the boats) they do give a potential boat buyer a
list of boats to review in detail at the dealer or boat show.
These fluff pieces or "advertorials" are not limited to boating
magazines and their staff, it is that way in 99% of the catagory
magazines (ie Photography, HiFi etc).
As I said, I am glad Chuck and the boat magaszines continue to write
their "reviews", they make for some fun reading and keep the magazines
in business.
Chuck does a great job of stirring up on topic posts in rec.boats, and
at times we really need some stirring up.
