> Gee Jim, I guess I missed the rules page that said no advertising.  

Obviously you did, otherwise you would not be making such a jackass
of yourself.

> where do we draw the line? 

We draw the line at people trying to entice us to buy their own
products. Everybody but Chris Parrett seems to understand this, and
for the most part, they respect the "no advertising" rule (and it is
a rule - check the archives if you don't believe me).  In fact, every
advertising "flare-up" in the last 2-3 years was the direct result of
one of Parrett's inappropriately placed product announcements.

> WHAT GEAR/SOFTWARE CAN WE TALK ABOUT WITHOUT PISSING YOU OFF?

You can talk about anything you want as long as you don't try to sell
me a commercial product or service that you make money off of. Do you
really want to set a precedent that would allow every dive-related
business on the Internet to start putting their ads here?
