I disagree with that assertion. The lighthouse story did have some
news value in addition to commercial puffery. The only way that
companies can justify that kind of expense to their stockholders is if
there is going to be some favorable public relations generated.



Then what's the problem with a fishing guide posting a puff piece here
telling readers about the recent catches in his area of operation?


Harry, that's the second time this thread that you have implied I
complained about "spam" in response to a post from a fishing guide.
When was this? I certainly don't remember the incident. Call me all the
names you like, but don't just make stuff up to support your
accusations.

The lighthouse piece pizzed you off. OK. We also know several people
disagree with your opinion and/or found it at least somewhat
interesting. Tough excrement.


You do understand I am not objecting to the lighthouse PR piece, but the
hypocrisy I have seen exhibited here over boating/fishing related
commerical posts.


ROTFLMAO
