Awh, come on Jackie, it's not as though Mike Edelman is getting rich selling www.foldingkayaks.org memorabilia through PW as a commercial undertaking. I doubt that he even nets enough to defray the costs associated with keeping his excellent website running! PW T-shirts weren't free either, but no-one would have called their "marketing" on this list a "commercial undertaking". Yes, that was a project in the direct interests of some of the list members (I was among them) and is not a direct parallel (although so is Mike's website something of great interest to some of the list members!) and yes, you have to draw the line somewhere and cannot allow grey areas ... .. how about discussing this topic some more to give Mike and his www.foldingkayaks.org memorabilia the publicity he needs without actually running a "commercial" by the only interested party: Mike Edleman himself (and Mike, I'll be expecting your commission offer off list now that I've written this as a heretofore non-interested party!!) ;-) Best regards, Ralph Ralph C.
