On a BBS, wouldn't spam be something off topic? My post wasn't off topic, though yours may be. In e-mail, spam is an unsolicited advertisement, but BBS' are meant to have unsolicited posts. I have drawings on my website of a rig which is not patented-anyone can use these drawings to make their own rig starting with my drawings, and I have many interesting, and mostly non-commercial links on my site. I'm an old yachtie, and I sailed a junk rigged boat across the Pacific in the 70s. I have been thinking about and using alternative rigs for over 30 years, and you put me in a category with 'Viagra' and 'organ enlargement' e-mails? I don't think that is in any way valid!
