Gee... and yee 'who has a real email address'... what is your point
exactly? 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.

So I can now advertise products or good 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. ;-)

HEY -- I've been looking for one of those lighthouses for in front of my
house. I need one about 5' high, but that will fit on an 18" sq base --
got anything?

That's exactly what I've been looking for!!!!

If you find any, let me know.

Vice versa - count on it.

We have a bait store in Vermilion, Ohio that sells 5-6 foot tall
lighthouses, as well as a vegetable stand along SR 53 (south of the Ohio
Turnpike) that sells them also. How long of a drive is that for you?

Tom, you know of course I am kidding, as I took your post to be tongue in
cheek.

Have a nice weekend.

I found a great nautical consignment store in Mystic, CT. Huge selection of
just about everything, Mystic Boat Stuff. Paula has been very helpful in
finding what I need at incredable prices. www.mysticboatstuff.com


Congrats! I am part owner of that store. Let me know how you like it.
