Please allow me to retort:

<br>First of all, there is no coincidence for me posting ads on numerous pages at around the same time. I am not trying to play the innocent bystander, and I am not trying to take advantage of anyone at my gain. Yes, I posted a bunch on his (SailingProShop) website because I gave him a free plug on my website AT HIS REQUEST (Please see http://easyhook.00go.com/fsguestbook.html at the bottom of the page), and I sold him 4 of the rings at wholesale to offer for resale on the west coast. I also have sold some to another dealer in New York. Besides, Mark (M. Michaelsen of SailingProShop) doesn't seem to mind. (By the way, Rick, if you check the Favorite Links page of my site, you will see that Catamaran Sailor Magazine is and always has been listed on there.) As for the other websites I posted on, they are there for a reason, to offer free postings and free classifieds. Don't blame me for using every available resource to promote my website. That's one reason why I am using a free web hosting service for my page. I am trying to cut a few corners here in the beginning to at least determine if there will be enough of a market for them to begin with a paid website and paid advertising. I don't remember posting anything on any monohull sites ( I may have though), but I have posted stuff on hobie's homepage, along with the beachcats forum on yahoo and of course this page just to name a few. Some other websites "pick up" the forum topics of these, so maybe that's how it happened. Who knows?!?

<br>In response to your quite colorful quote of the day, I was merely being humble, sucking up my pride, and being courteous as I very well should be after I was so rude to Mr. Norris after his first post. No hard feelings from me, and I sincerely hope that he harbors none. Just bing nice and getting shot down for it. My mistake.
