Byron You have totally missed Jim's point. This list is not for commercial entities to advertise or try to sell anything. At all. No matter how well intended or needed. The person to person and private party adds and sales are more than acceptable. But, blatant advertisement by a "professional" or someone "in the business" for the making of money, should be kept off this list. Trader john was in the wrong to do so. Joel has every right to give a class for whatever he wants to charge, those who attend will get a great class. But Joel did not advertise here, traderjohn did and should not have. just a little side bar here- we all complained about the state of instruction or the lack of. one point brought up was that prices are still 30 years behind. we wonder why we can not keep good people in the dive business when we will not let them charge a price that will allow them to feed the kids, is this how your dr. works? and now we put the screws on Joel to give a cheap class because people need the class. why do you think instructors are here? to give away classes?? hey I know a lot of people who need that class, can they get the same deal???? anyway I digress, Byron if you want to stop diving and sell all your gear, please feel free to do so. you can even sell all your gear on the list. but if you are doing this for your living, leave the adds in the yellow pages.
