Re: [Paddlewise] Tents and camping equipment

I second Bob's comments.  It isn't fair to the many retailers subscribed to 
PaddleWise, some of whom that contribute a good deal of information to this 
list, that refrain from posting their sales events every time they have 
one (and who run the risk of being booted from the list if they continue to 
violate list policy with posting sales notices).  PaddleWise should not become 
a public announcement board for sales events of all kinds of equipment all over.  
Folks tend to forget we have quite a few subscribers here from all over the 
world.  I understand the desire to learn of a good sale but the vast majority 
of subscribers will not benefit from these type of announcements.  To open 
the list to sales announcements everywhere of all kinds of gear various folks
define as paddling-related (boats, clothing, boat accessories, paddling
accessories, boat making, boat sailing, boat transportation, camping gear, 
fishing gear, etc... catch my "drift"? :-)  could quickly drown out the 
relevant postings of general interest to the majority on this list.
