We have few enough vendors in our sport and the market is highly fragmented.
Among those few are some of our best and most knowledgeable pilots. Many of
them support us as speakers and exhibitors at our conventions. All of them
have been generous with their time when I've had questions, even when it
wasn't about something they sell. IMHO, none of them have abused the
privilege. I think we can afford them a bit of space on this forum for
product announcements, etc..

I vote with Ray Lovinggood.

Paul,

You may be breaking a 'rule', but you aren't yelling
and screaming like some plaid pants wearing, toupee
covered, grinding (pick your place) accent spewing
used car salesman. I don't mind your 'advertisements'
one bit.

And, I do see 'private' individuals who post an 'advertisement'
that they are selling their glider or their instruments
or whatever on this venue and I look for these items.
Not that I can buy a glider, but I like to know what's
out there.

So, for me, I don't mind at all when Paul, Tim Mara,
Tom Knauff, or any other business mentions they've
got something new to sell.

Please don't do this Paul. This is not a commercial

and advertising is prohibited.
