And for your other email... this is Tania, not Paula. It's a wonderful store, been a boat owner/sailer for a very long time. Tania, in case you did not know it is not polite to post spam of any sort on a newsgroup (NG) unless the NG is a buy/sell/trade NG . That is why you are getting the push back. I hope your friend's store is a great success but please do not advertise anymore here or other NG's. Thanks. Let's see if I understand the logic here. Making a post to rec.boats supporting a friend's store which sells recycled merchandize that is probably of some interest to folks involved in boating is bad. Making a post calling Harry a boil sucking no talent liberal union hack during off topic political discussions which have no inherent value to anybody other than those who are on the side of the true believers is ok. Do you see the problems inherent in those two statements or am I missing something important? All the best, Nope. Tom, look at it anyway you want but spam is spam. End of story. No, spam is off topic crap that infests the newsgroup on a daily basis to the tune of hundreds of posts weekly that have no relevance to anything nautical or are even remotely interesting. And I am guilty of that myself although not to the extent of some and my on topic contributions in terms of number of posts certainly outweigh the off topic contributions. A post about a nautical consignment shop is not spam. It was informative to me as a contributing member of this august body known as rec.boats. And while I'm on the subject, can you show me the rec.boats charter or FAQ that specifically states that posts relating to the sale of nautical merchandize in an informative manner isn't allowed? If not, then your complaint has no standing in fact. If so, then I will admit error and move on. Later, Tom So I can now advertise products or goods sold by friends of mine if they are "nautically" related? Theoretical: My friend sells lighthouses. I can post this here? Or maybe my friend sells boats....I can post this here? Perhaps my friend sells boat maintenance services....I can post this here? Interesting. Perhaps you can show the section in the rec.boats charter that allows this. The onus is not on me. All the best. ;-) |
