MINTOR testing continued

[Tony Stillman]

If someone is asking a question, then I don't think anyone will have a
problem with answering them by telling them where to find an item or
service.  The problem comes when someone just puts an add out there.  We
just don't see much of that anymore....

I have always felt it was OK to tell people where things are - you do that
in a club etc - and answer questions. Where it gets tricky is using the list
for "free" advertising when we want folks to buy space in etc K-Factor etc.

Our moderator will soon let you know - usually privately - if you are out of
line. He rapped my knuckles at least once and I deserved it. :-)(

Mintor engines are also available from AeroSlave at www.aeroslave.com.
Prices
are more than competitive.  Is it OK to post this kind of information. I am
extremely uncomfortable  making this post, but feel I have no choice.
