Actually, that ruling isn't mine (at least, not mine alone).  It was a
promise I made to the paddling community that came here from elsewhere
and *the* reason most signed on to PaddleWise... to leave the atmosphere
of commercial promotion (Tim Ingram - though I'm not comparing Mike's 
posting with Ingram at all... only explaining the origin of the rule and 
risk of opening that door 8-}.

That's right.  Thanks for reminding me of that, Ralph.  I said "folks" 
but failed to mention that decals were also involved in that and those
were arranged by Jim Tynan (I'm not sure if Jim ever did break even).
I am greatful to both Bill and Jim for their efforts in making the
PaddleWise t-shirts and decals available to us.  :-)
