I know making a living selling sailing gear is a very difficult way to make a living. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who are willing to try. That being said, a line has been crossed in the opinion of the hosts of this forum, and instead of a standoff of bruised egos, why can't we just move on and get back to supporting the sport we love. Send Mary an email and make nice. Buy an ad on the classifieds and continue posting good sailing information that will benifit all of us.
