We have reminded folks in the past that SCUTTLEBUTT was a great way of staying in touch with the entire arena of sailing and received a similar message to what you have placed here from yet another "ANONYMOUS POSTER" on the old forum. At that time I wrote Rick and asked him if this posed any problem whatsoever or if he thought it was a good idea.
<br>
<br>He replied that he "didn't mind at all and encouraged folks to seek information on the net regardless of the source".
<br>
<br>This isn't about advertising and if you know anything about our website you'll note that it is far more :INFORMATIONAL" than it ever will be commerce related.
<br>
<br>I hope you enjoy the rest of your sailing season but would encourage you to leave the policing of the new forum up to the people in charge of it-namely Rick White. That was the whole intent of the new format.
<br>
<br>For the rest of you I hope you will gain valuable knowledge and information from SCUTTLEBUTT and that you too have a great season on the water.
