Default Classic Yacht online magazine - free subscription

Bill P,

This is a free forum. Think about what "free" means.
This is not the place to advertise products commerically.
People in here are basically friends, with a few exceptions,
who help each other out. We are not out to make a profit
off of each other. You have not paid your dues with this
group by contributing anything to the group. Your status
is white whale **** on the bottom of the ocean under a
spring tide--only one other person here is lower than you.

You are not giving away anything for free. You are
harvesting email addresses in exchange for viewing your
web site--that is not free. I noticed no statements in which
you offered to protect the privacy of your subscribers. So
it seems likely, you plan to sell your mailing list for a
profit perhaps? Things must not be going very well for
you if you are desperate enough to try to find some
readers here.

You might want to actually give something away for free,
before you call yourself "free".

There are no obligations whatsoever.

Billed as "the prettiest and wittiest boating magazine on the web", I
hope you'll find the magazine worthy of your attention. Classic Yacht
