[Rhodes22-list] Commercial Ads on da Rhodes list

[Michael D. Weisner]

Todd,

You have a good point and I don't disagree except (here it comes) in the 
case of GBI.  After all, this is called the Rhodes 22 list because it is 
about the Rhodes 22 sailboat.  I believe that Stan (GBI) has a slightly 
different place on the list than Art or anyone else for that matter.

This list embodies a group of diverse individuals brought together mostly 
through the efforts of Stan, directly or indirectly.  It has been my 
pleasure to provide information and assistance to other Rhodies, in an 
effort to help GBI.  This is not to say that I wouldn't help Art succeed, 
quite the contrary, but I do not treat the boat manufacturer and an 
aftermarket accessory maker in the same way.  I believe that this is the 
point of distinction.
