Here is some additional information on the charts CD I mentioned a
couple of weeks ago.
Might make a great stocking stuffer for the holidays.
I looked at the West Coast version, but there is also a CD for the East
Coast.
Considering that it used to be commonplace to spend $15-30 for one
single chart, this really is a deal.

the rest of the shameless spam was snipped

When did your brother start this company Chuck?

You're probably right. I really should post about the latest lens I
bought for my camera, where I got it, and how much I paid. The general
consensus seems to be that posts about politics and cameras, boasts
about major purchases not even related to boating, etc are more
appropriate for rec.boats than information about something available
for the price of a half decent bottle of wine and that might prove
useful to a boater.

I deserve all the criticism you'd care to heap on. The nerve! I should
have been posting about
"the greatest war movie ever filmed" or some such drivel, rather than
reporting on a new product that actually has to do with boating. What
was I thinking?

Boats are in your life 24x7. Most of us have more varied interests.

I find your 2,000 word advertisements here far more objectionable than a
discussion about war movies on Veterans Day.

The OT threads you object to usually turn south only after you and your
deputies ride to enforce *your* laws.

Then wouldn't it be appropriate to participate in a variety of
newsgroups, rather than impose your personal interests on a group
gathered for another, specific purpose? Anybody ever experiment with
posting boating related items to the photography newsgroup? How did
that go? How about the TCM discussion group- are boating items well
received over there?
Maybe a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of various
docklines would be
useful in either the Bush.is.a.blithering.idiot group or the
Liberals.and.democrats.should.all.be.taken.out.and .lynched forum.

What does a "war movie" have to do with Veterans' Day? I've never been
in a war, (and as far as I know neither have you), but I'd be willing
to bet a pretty pile that the actual experience is a lot different than
the stuff you see on a movie screen. The more appropriate question;
what does a war movie have to do with recreational boating?

Nobody can enforce anything, Jim. You are free to post your political
opinions here, just as I am free to comment on whether or not I think
they are appropriate for a boating newsgroup.
You irritate me with your political cut 'n pastes and personal attack
threads trolled through a boating newsgroup, and I irritate you by
making boating related posts to the same forum. Looks like one of us
has a screwed up agenda. Somehow, I suspect that referring to the title
of the NG might provide some insight regarding who might be confused
here- but again that would only be my opinion and you're free to
disagree and post whatever you want.

I only post a personal attack after being attacked. I also do not get into
the gutter with foul language as several members here do. Yesterday's foul
mouthed personal attack on me by JohnH is an example.

I also do not start many political threads. In fact I doubt you will find
more than 3 or so over the past few months. You, on the other hand,
participate in the political stuff with your comments and 2,000 word
editorials, then get back on your pony telling others not do what you just
did.

I would not have a problem with your sheriffing if you at least followed
your own rules Chuck. Giddyup!

I would rather have on topic spam (not saying this is spam but this
seems to what it being implied) Then all the off topic crap by those
without a clue.

And heck Chuck does not even like me :-)

We had a disagreement a long time ago - I will just leave it at that.

Good grief, Jack. If I took a dislike to everybody who ever disagreed
with me I'd have to dislike almost everybody. Whatever it was, I
certainly forgot about it.
