Gene,
I have no problem with on topic PR cut and pastes, Dan made the observation
that Gould's piece sounded " a bit too commercial". I pointed out the
obvious, that it is a commercial cut and paste PR piece.

Gould is commercial. His boat reviews read like PR pieces sent out by the
builders, he is now cut and pasting PR pieces sent out by retailers.



I appreciate the ON topic information, since it is about a 45 minute
trip into Myrtle Beach Or Wilmington to pick one up. A few weeks
after they are first published, they get a little difficult to obtain.

I'd rather read commercial boat reviews than all of the off topic
posting.

All he had to say was that West Marine released their 2005 catalogue today.
End of story.

The rest of the post is spam, pure and simple and uncalled for.

===========================

Since it was by your own admission **obvious**, why the need to point
it out? At least Chuck ocassionally posts something about boats.

Occasionally is indeed the key phrase. Most is fluff or spam though.

Wayne,
My post was in reference to Dan's post saying "Isn't that a little too
commercial"? If you have a problem with highlighting the obvious, you need
to bring it up with Dan.
