Pimping for West Marine? Got enough mentions of it in your post.

Naw, trolling for knee jerk responses from frustrated flamers.
Bingo.

I deleted the entire last paragraph puffing up West Marine as God's Own
Gift to Boating.

The rest of the post was the WM press release. The fact that this
Karpinski person won a West Marine award is a little tough to
illuminate without any mention of WM, don't you think?

Furthermore, there is *no* commercial value to rec.boats. A couple of
dozen regulars here. Half of them don't own boats and half of the other
half only hook up the truck and peel away the canvas cover 2-3 times a
year. Hate to break it to you, but posting here is for conversational
purposes only. Nobody will be commercially influenced, just like
nobody's mind is ever changed when the politics etc get started.
