Todd,

Get over it. There really isn't any problem with excess commercial
posts on RAS. You seem to only pick on Paul and it just makes you look
like a jerk and ultimately generates a lot more visibility for Paul's site.

Don, as long as you have no financial interest in Paul's
business, you have every right to post this. If it was done
this way, I would not have commented. It's not the
information I objected to, it was the direct and clear
violation of a rule I think is important by someone who knew
he was violating the rule when he posted. If you think
Paul's offer is noteworthy and want to comment on it, you
are free to do so.

Contrast Paul's commercial post with Tim Mara's last post.
IIRC, Tim posted something like: "Gee I'm sorry for posting
this commercial message, but I'd like anyone to know that
the manufacturer of the whatsit is allowing a free exchange
of their old model whatsit for the improved current model
whatsit." Since Tim made no money from the free exchange,
it was not a commercial post and did not violate the rules,
but TIm was still concerned enough to apologize for what
might have been seen as a commercial post since it came from
a commercial entity.

I have just heard some very good news, Paul Remde at
Cumulus Soaring, Inc. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lx.htm
has a really good deal on the LX7000 Pro ICG. The LX7007
Pro IGC is the newest version of what was previously
the LX7000 Pro IGC. The new version offers a faster
processor, more memory (I think) for waypoints, airspace
and flight logs, and can provide 5V power for a Pocket
PC.

He is now offering the LX7000 Pro IGC unit at a reduced
price of $3995 (US $) which is $500 below the market
price.

This was such good news that even thought I live in
the UK I had to share it with you.
