I do have a retriever dog so the "Paddling with Dog" post caught my eye. I just finished reading kayakwriter's explanation of how the "Dog" post was inappropriate because it was a thinly disguised ad for a new kayak product. After kayakwriters explanation I was surprised to see about 10 lines of Netscape advertising under signature. So what I'm wondering is this - would it have been ok if Bart had written a sentence or two about a stove or digital camera and then encapsulated a 10 line commercial message below his signature? And if that's not ok then shouldn't Philip be asked to find an email service that doesn't force commercial ads on the non-commercial groups such as PaddleWise? I mean after all. And I should point out that I have nothing whatsoever to do with Bart's product, spons*ns, or any other product having to do with any kind of paddling. I'm just bugged by double standards.
