Mark, I think Ari is sensitive to the possibility that you posted to
Paddlewise to promote your sails.  I did not read your posting that way
at all, because of the way it was presented.

I suspect that the nuances of the exchanges lose something when
translated between cultures.

Ari, the market for Mark's sails is not one requiring Mark to promote
his products.  Last time I checked, there was quite a long wait to get
one of his BOSS rigs, and often used ones were selling for close to new
price.  He does not have to promote their sale.

I'd say, "No harm, no foul."  And, I do not know the cultural equivalent
for Ari, but maybe someone else will.

makes and sells.
