Hi Richard,

Good point.

I also try to refrain from posting commercial messages on the RAS. I
just counted the number of advertisers in Soaring Magazine. 39 or so.
Can you imagine the damage to the RAS if all were posting commercial
messages.

Hi Todd,

I understand your position on this recurring theme. However, every
time we
go through this friendly argument I receive many, many more supportive
comments than negative ones. My intension is to continue to send
commercial
posts. I will try to keep them less often (on average) than 1 every
week or
2. As has been my practice of late I will highlight the posts with the
term
"Commercial" in the header so that people can ignore them if they
choose.
They are easy to ignore if you choose.

My impression is that most people on this newsgroup like to learn about
new
and updated products here.

I am not trying to get rich, but rather to support the soaring
community.

Thank you,

Paul Remde

At the risk of being flamed again, the Charter of
rec.aviation.soaring does not allow *any* commercial
messages in this forum. You should be ashamed of yourself,
as you know the rules. Other soaring suppliers abide by
them. Put a link to your web site in your sig.

netiquette [from "network etiquette"] n The conventions of
politeness recognized in discussion forums, such as
avoidance of cross-posting to inappropriate forums and
refraining from commercial pluggery outside the business

2) Commercial Advertisements
The general rule of thumb is that you need to take the time
to learn where your advertisement is appropriate before you
post it. If you are not sure where your advertisement is
appropriate, don't post it. Another good rule of thumb is
that unless the group's charter or FAQ specifically mentions
that some limited types of advertising are welcome, you
should assume that no commercial postings are allowed.

You will be asked to enter your SeeYou registration
key when you place the order.

People really should not give these out. You should ask for
other proof (canceled check, etc.)

I don't mean to jump on you Paul, but this is not a
commercial forum and it's against the
