Dan,
I have no problem with Gould cut and pasting PR pieces, but they are PR pieces. Why all the anger when someone points out the obvious? "Marshall Banana" wrote in message ...

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. "Gene Kearns" wrote in message ...

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

(March 1, 2005) - West Marine, Inc., the nation's largest specialty retailer of boating supplies, today announced the arrival of its 2005 catalog, which features thousands of new boating products.

The new products featured in this year's catalog include the new portable GPS systems The Mariner 276C+ & 76C, West Marine's exclusive Print-on- Demand Charts which provide up to the minute data and the inventive Liquid Force Wakeskate. The West Advisors, written candidly by several of West Marine's product consultants, not only provide tips on how to select best product for your needs, but also address challenging issues such as discharge and teak surfing.

"Our customer's satisfaction is our top priority and because of this we are introducing the gear feedback program."

The company strives to raise the level of attention paid to product reliability so that boaters have less hassle and more fun. To utilize "gear feedback," customers can go to westmarine.com and write a product review on any product page to publicly advise other consumers on the positive/negative qualities of a product.

End of story. Instead you posted spam about West Marine. What did West Marine pay you for that post Chuckles? The same that you get from boat manufacturers for posting you *unbiased* review of their products here? Payola. |
What did West Marine pay you for that post Chuckles?
*********************** It's hard to keep track. A couple hundred thousand here, a couple hundred thousand there, pretty soon it adds up to real money................. Seriously, JimH. What do you (really) think? WM doesn't need me to post an announcement in a public forum. If you had an interest in boating, you might enjoy knowing their catalog is out. Sure isn't worth retyping something original for a mundane announcement. |

Gee Chuck the deceptive spammer you need to set better bait than that; how about you solicit for real email addresses from the innocents of rec.boats?? like you did with your last spam??? I suppose I should be offended that you even imagine you'd catch me that easily but upon reflection I accept it's about as good as you can do, wish I could say nice try but ..... K So enough of this Gould spam lets have the Krause lie of the day from "the bride" series:-) Krause has claimed to have a 20 yrs his junior beautiful wife, he even put a fake pic of a beautiful woman on a website once claiming it was his "young bride", he may have a wife, although I doubt even that, we don't like nor tolerate misogynists for long. Needless to say he's made up many "dramatic" over the top stories over the years about this lie to feed his ego & pretend he's the centre of attention, but as with his boat claims & other crap, there's never once been even a shred of independently verifiable material. After he stalked Madcow in real life, which was most frightening, I do suspect he's very very dangerous & that this "bride" story is his delusional appropriation of his, probably court ordered, treating psychotherapist as "wife" (it seems he was under lock & key for what?? over a year??? a sexual deviant maybe??), have a read of just a small part of his BS & make up your own mind, it's all about free choice:-) 1. She *is* my bride. There are no rules that determine the end of "bride-hood." If I want to refer to her as my bride, I may. 2. As a professional writer, I know the rules of language and am entitled to break them in exercise of my license. 3. I doubt many married women would object to their husbands lovingly referring to them as brides. The connotations are pleasant. 4. She's 20 years younger than I am. |
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.

Perhaps life is a bit on the dull side for you. Do you rejoice each year when the new phone book comes out? |
