Glen,

Hate to tell you self appointed newsgroup police but the charter for
rec.boats.cruising says absolutely nothing that prohibits announcements of
services or websites.
http://mailgate.supereva.com/rec/rec.../msg63881.html It only
prohibits for-sale posts.

It is unfortunate that he posed it more than once but this post was
entirely within the permitted use.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I disagree.

Sorry that you took my comments supporting Larry as being netcopish. I reviewed
the charter before my first post on this subject, and I've been generally familiar
with it for some time.

Now show me how posting a blurb ad for a brokerage/charter company is a "discussion",
or seriously intended to generate a "discussion" of "topics related to cruising
in boats"

If he were to participate in the newsgroup and just listed the website and slogan
in his sig, I doubt anyone would have objected.
