Very clever - now a guerilla marketing campaign. Pimping to posts he
doesn't like.

You know, you have to wonder how much money is being made here. How
much
is Mr. Gould being paid per post pimping these overpriced, useless
boats?

It's not like it hasn't been done before you know - it's called spam.


Your pathetic attempts to drag me into a flame war are noted. Glad to
see you are concerned about the content of the group. The initial post
at the beginning of this thread succinctly illustrates your level of
commitment to a purely intellectual group where a comment about a
newly available *boat* (heaven forbid!) is entirely inappropriate. Why
would I assume that anybody in a boating newsgroup would care if a new
boat line is available? What an error. Apparently, by the standards
evident in this thread, a personal attack message would be far more
appropriate content here. Sorry to have strayed so far from the flock.


Chuck,
I agree with you, even if the boat is butt ugly, poorly constructed, and
is way over priced, it still encourages a boating discussion about other
trawlers.

I thought your post about the "snake oil" was a great thread, even if I
found you naive in believing that it would possible work.
