Yes, except for postings like Paul's on RAS, there really is no way to
learn about new soaring products. Rather than muzzling Paul, I think
other vendors (such as Tim) should feel free to also start posting this
type of information, as long as it is posted once for information,
rather than repeatedly as a commercial.

Also, say that I had been looking for a vario, I had just talked to
Paul, and as a result posted "Hey, guess what, I just talked to Paul,
and the Tasman vario now has a new sink sound." I am guessing that post
would be OK. Why is the same post not OK when Paul is the one to post it?

Boys:

I am not a customer of Paul's but I appreciate his announcement. If he
limited the announcement to his customers, I wouldn't the information as
quickly or at all.

Announcements like this are not an annoyance, they are public service.
Its a good example of why the free flow of information on the net is so
important.

I'm sure that someone will feel that I'm posting a commercial post
here - which I've been told is a no no. I believe that most owners
of Tasman variometers will be glad that I announced the availability
of this new version.

Good Soaring,
