Since Robert bought up the guidelines, I thought I'd post an excerpt as a reminder for all users (myself included).

The designers and commercial suppliers of boat designs, kits, kayaks, canoes and small boats, and boating related equipment are welcome to post to this bulletin board. Please limit your postings to areas that are of general interest to the readers of the Forum. This includes recommended techniques, recommended materials, recommended tools and equipment and recommended sources for any of the above. It does not include recommending your own products or criticizing other's products. For example:

If someone posts, "Please recommend a kayak" respond to them via email don't post your desire for them to build your kayak on the bulletin board. Customers can post their recommendations.
If someone posts, "Should I build X from company ABC or Y from PDQ" respond with how your boat X from ABC is good (keep it short and sweet w/o hyperbole), not with how yours is better than Y from PDQ. Customers can post any impressions.
If someone posts, "I am considering building X from ABC, is this the right boat for me.", Respond by why you (from ABC) think your boat X is or is not the right boat.
Back up your opinion: if you want to praise your product, substantiate your claims with objective characteristics.
Don't criticize the competition. You're motivation is suspect and that way they won't criticize you. If you think the competition is misstating the facts, respond with care. This is not a forum for airing your dissagreements with what competing designers or builders are doing. You can use your own web site to do that.

If a question is posted asking specifically about one of your products, you are welcome to respond to it directly. Please respond by stating what is good about your design. Refrain from putting down the competition. If your designs or information is truly better than the competition's, please rely on your customers to point that out. If someone states something that you feel is in error or based on a misconception, please feel free to state what you believe to be correct. Respond to questions in a fair manner with a minimum of hyperbole.

Commercial postings are not allowed. Unsolicited postings extolling the virtues of your products or equipment your company designed or sells are not permitted. If you want to say something good about your stuff, wait for someone to ask on this bulletin board. Do not criticize products designed or sold by others.

If you are connected to or represent a commercial source of kayaks or kayak designs, you must include some notice of that in your posting. Include a notice with your name or include a URL to your businesses web site. The best way is to append the name of your business after your name (i.e. Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

Classifieds advertising finished boats made by home builders are allowed, however the BBS is probably the wrong place. People reading the BBS build their own boats, they don't want to buy someone else's perked. Classifieds from noncommercial sources offering excess materials, used tools, etc. are permitted.

Over the past 6-7 years that I've been on the forum I've posted about many of the kayaks and canoes I've built. I try and post mostly just information on the construction methods I use. Every one reading this is very proud of the work that they each put into their crafts. We all like to show off our work and get a few pats on the back.
