John, What does using a emoticon have to do with anything? I simply stated the fact that I happen have exactly what someone requested. In a timely fashion. Basically just an answer to a posted question. BTW, now quite a few people know where they might find a VCP hatch, asap. Isn't this valuable information? I could post from my home account, without the sig, if this will make you happy. steve Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 39' 47" 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 36' 16" Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Since you used one both times it looked like you knowingly violated the list policy but because an emoticon was added it somehow made it okay. >I simply stated the fact that I happen have exactly what someone requested. >In a timely fashion. > >Basically just an answer to a posted question. > >BTW, now quite a few people know where they might find a VCP hatch, asap. >Isn't this valuable information? Perhaps to the person that asked the question. I don't know how many subscribers there are on Paddlewise now but I would be willing to guess that the overwhelming majority of them have no need for a VCP hatch cover and you're answer is nothing more than unsolicited commercial advertising. I could probably find a half dozen vendors with a simple web search where one could buy a VCP hatch cover. If every vendor that sold VCP hatch covers simply responded to the simple question it would clutter up the list pretty fast. If someone asked a simple question about Perception kayaks, Paddlewise would become almost unusable if every vendor that sold Perception kayaks decided to subscribe to the list and respond to every query about Perception kayaks with an indication regarding stock availability. >I could post from my home account, without the sig, if this will make you >happy. Whether that would make me happy is irrelevant. The fact is (from the welcome message when you subscribed to Paddlewise): * Commercial promotion and advertising is not allowed. However, a simple four-line by-line in your signature stating the name of your business and contact information is generally acceptable. Answering a question about equipment and including all of the subscribers on the list , rather that just responding to the person that asked for the information, is, in my opinion, commercial promotion and advertising, and thus is in violation of the listserv policy. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
