Oh, well, it feels good to post a few letters of complaint to his ISP, and
related trade organizations.

Actually...we're just a retired couple ..who..now..are REALLY doing
something FlyFishing here.

I know how fashionable it's become to be TERRIFIED of commerce..like
you..um..threatening "gentlemen" are.

It's one of the reasons our economy is in such shape.

Nice, though, of you ..um *"gentlemen" to use such emotion on our
project..and perhaps there are those who feel differently about me
post flyfishing info on your little flyfishing site. You know who/
where i am. * *dfk


Its not your efforts at commerce that are offensive, Dan. It was your
snooty response to Tom when he said not to SPAM, a legitimate request
on his part; calling him a cheapskate, then calling him a sissy,and
now being sarcastic about us 'gentlemen'. I can hardly imagine how you
respond to a client who questions a charge on their bill, or asks for
more towels.

Our reason our economy is in trouble has a whole lot less to do with
people advertising in unwanted places than it does with service
providers feeling overly entitled and self-righteous. This
'gentleman', who happens to live quite near you and who also works in
a recreational service industry and who regularly advises clients
about places to stay near the four-corners region, finds that some of
your competitor's accommodations look quite nice. And I know from
experience that many of the hoteliers are quite personable.
