Don't mind Dave, sounds like he's having a bad hair day. That said,
this is supposed to be a non-commercial forum.

Wayne, unless she's in the business of selling boats, her post is
non-commercial.

selling one of the boats.

Oops! You ran afoul of the self-proclaimed NetNazis in your request for
clarification.

Please ignore the boors. By in large, they don't seem to know what
cruising is, and they have no sense of humor.

The charter of this group, easily found by doing a google on "charter
rec.boats.cruising" clearly states:

"The proposed unmoderated newsgroup rec.boats.cruising will not be
open to for-sale postings. Appropriate advertisements should be
directed to rec.boats.marketplace"

The issue is not one of humor, or of NetNazism, but the very
simple idea that this is a forum for discussion of cruising.

Problem- if everybody with a boat for sale decided that this
was a great free advertising venue, then discussion of
cruising would be drowned out 10,000:1

*Buying* a boat is part of going cruising. Selling a boat is
not. Doesn't that make sense?

If they were, maybe TW would be in the market?

It isn't, but I see you didn't let that stop your from barging ahead
without
a by-your-leave..

I suggest rec.boats.marketplace

No, it doesn't. Dying is every bit a part of living.

Unmoderated newsgroups are graffiti. Don't like it, don't come here,
to a sweet spot where a few can help or not.

Buy service in a controlled area, hire some one else to screen your
calls for you. Go away, netkop. Please do not litter.

Shut up ****wad. She is not just selling boats, and all
"for sale" ads are
against standard and longstanding usenet rules that are
accepted by everybody.
There are newsgroups for adverts that have either
"ForSale" "marketplace" or
"FS" as part of their names. This is not one of them. Come
to thinkl of it, this
group's name does not contain "Gay" or "Asswipe", so you
don't belong here
either!


Bad time of the month?

If you ignore him or plonk him, he'll go away. He's mentally disturbed.

Jeff, I agree, but that's not what Wayne said.
