WEST MARINE HONORED WITH THE PATRIOT AWARD
FOR EXCEPTIONAL SUPPORT OF THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY

Glad to hear it.

Do try to be consistent, Jim. Or at least not so darn obvious.

When I cut 'n paste an item about a boating supply company earning an
award for "supporting our troops" you say you're glad to hear it.

When I post an item about a company donating doors and windows to
restore historic lighthouses (no political connection, really) you
bitch about it.

Charles, I am extremely consistent. And what's wrong with being obvious? I
applaud West Marine for earning that award. The window article is obituary
page filler material.
I think Harry had it right. In both cases the companies in question, used
their community service acts to back door into an ad for their products.
Kinda like you doing your "reports" on your sponsor's boats and products.
