Yes, it must be very difficult for some people to Google "charter
rec.boats.cruising"

It always surprises me the venom that seems to come from some who are
trying to enforce the "rules" even though we all know there is really
no way for anyone to know the rules without asking.


Everyone knows the rules. KVL essentially admitted she knew it was
probably against the rules but would rather break the rules than ask
permission. I don't see how anyone could even consider buying a boat,
or even a book, from someone like that.

Maybe venom is better than anarchy in this case, I don't know.


Why is it venom? Are you saying you would welcome everyone to post
their used goods for sale here? Do you realize how many boats are for
sale?

I'm saying it can be said nicely instead of rudely.
