So, why are you spamming the newsgroups with it??

Your posting IP address in Toronto is hangin' out in your header....(c;

Why shouldn't non-profiting parties post links to sources of information
about boating products?

Wow, that got me in hot water....

When someone posts what a great company Smiley's Boat Electric and Storm
Door was to work with, they invariably post their PERSONAL experience story
about how Smiley, himself, came down to the boat at 4PM on Saturday and
replaced the bad starter solenoid on the old Perkins 4-108 and refused to
take the extra money tip for his trouble.

Look closely at this post.

Doesn't it sound like copy for a radio spot to be read during the boat show
on Saturday morning? The boater who posted about Smileys never wrote a
radio spot or other advertising copy. HIS post looks more genuine...and
is.

If I were a commercial interest trying to figure out how to spam the boat
newsgroups, for free of course, I'd write a great post about Smiley's....

They don't.
