Did anyone else receive an e-mail from Timwhaler advertising a 1995 19OR? E-Mail address was tim@initialpoint.com
Looks like he just signed up today.
I think the forum is a great place to post a Whaler for sale and if anyone is interested they will respond. I get enough junk e-mail without someone using this forum to e-mail me an ad for something I have no interest in buying.
Our e-mail on this forum is for answering questions, asking questions or just BSing. It's not for unsolicited advertisements.
Just another tirade from the old man, but I was pi**ed when I read it.

I got it too. I hit delete rather than honor it with a response.

Spam is commericial. At this point, it looks
like Tim is an individual selling his own
boat. But the individual e-mails were
unnecessary. Just posting it on the
marketplace should have been sufficient to
get it to anyone that cares.

Got that spam; added the sender to my junk mail senders list. Hope he doesn't have anything important to tell me.

I'm giving away my age, but where did the word "spam" come from for unwanted E-mail advertizements? It couldn't possibly be from Clark Robert's favorite boating lunch, could it?

Dude sent me three e-mails for his boat. I deleted them so fast I don't remember if he listed a price. Bad form.
