I just want to apologize for my last post. I unknowingly went against the rules and posted a thread with commercial interests. I joined this forum in 2007 and probably didn't read the rules of conduct back then either. I also removed the link to my site in my signature. I truly just wanted to get your impressions on the site so I could improve it. I guess it's going to have to be one of those best kept secrets.

You may now throw the rotten tomatoes but please try not to hit my boat! Hope I didn't offend anyone.

Whatever it was, I missed it.

But except for that, I haven't screwed up all year!

Hey steve. No problem. No rotten tomatoes. Good luck with the site.

What a great site, just made it one of my favorites.

Damn. I keep missing the drama! Nonetheless, rest assured I took deep offense at all your trespasses.

Thanks for the link. I just added it to my favorites. It is good to have an alternate to Amazon which I hate.

on my favorites now!

In my favorites.... Perhaps there should be a sub clause to the rule that allows "cool, useful and morally upstanding" commercial content to be posted....

Celestialsailor · 04-02-2009, 19:26

In my favorites as well. I'm sure you can post it in the Vendor threads.

Vida Nova · 04-02-2009, 21:44

There's a Vendor thread? I'll look it up thanks.

I don't want to compete with this site in any way but rather be a part of the community and the solution. I'm both a sailor and a computer programmer/consultant (hey gotta pay for that boat somehow). The resulting site is a mix of both my passions. I came up with software that lets me aggregate many book sources and get specific titles at the best possible price. I am quite active on my Catalina 25/250 forums where I am listed under my own name. You can look me up at Association Forum. The way I see it is that I am providing a specialized sailing bookstore to real sailors from a real sailor.

Thanks for all the great feedback and warm comments, I really appreciate it!

Vida, member since '07 and only 07 posts? (04 before this thread)???? Glad to see you've contributed to the forum before you had a website.

Anyways, less pics of your mug and more pics of the boat, eh?

Cheers

Bill
