I didn't know there was a ban on commercial advertising? Is that true?

My opinion is that I don't mind seeing commercial advertising now and then,
and I don't mind seeing notes about stuff on ebay either. As long as
someone is clearly not trying to make rec.boats.building a commercial
venture, then close is close enough. I like finding good deals and hearing
from others greatly expands the chance of that.

I debated whether to mention the auction but decided that, while it may
fall into a grey area, it was probably appropriate. The charter does
prohibit advertising but we are a unique and relatively small group with
some rather unique needs. We also end up with surplus material that only
others in this group can use.

Because of design changes and over-purchases anyone building a large
boat will have some extra material that others in the group could use.
While I completely agree with the ban on commerical posting, prohibiting
an anouncement of the availability of this material eliminates some of
the value of this newsgroup.
