Kevin,
Thank you for summing up our guidelines. Well said.
I'd like to add this... useful and relavent information is always encouraged, but it's important to consider the source of the information too. As we all know, info can be skewed, distorted and manipulated... depending on the experience, bias or motivation of the person posting.
Sharing & learning and laughing & crying... is the basis of a forum. In the case of YF, it's also a portal and a magazine, however... it is NOT a place for personal promotion. For people in the biz that bring useful, relavent content to YF... an occasional plug (when applicable) is fine.
On this note... I'd like everyone to know the level of class displayed by all of the builders in this industry. The majority of them are YF members and most of them read the forum weekly... yet none of them has ever used YF to further promote themselves.
That being said... occasionally someone new stumbles across YF and sees an opportunity to promote their product or service, cleverly disguised as information, to further promote their cause. Information of this nature is subject to being removed.
Returning to my vacation now. Be back in a couple of days. Best to all!
Carl

Has anyone attended "Boat Tech China". It is an annual event....this year it is going to be April 3-5 just outside Hong Kong on the mainland....city called Goungzhou. It is near an economic zone designated for the luxury yacht market. The Chinese government try to cluster similiar industries together for various reasons. I am planning to attend and will provide some feedback as to it's effectiveness. www.boattechchina.com
Again thanks to all

I'd only add one thing -- if innaccurate, incomplete or misleading information is posted, regardless of its nature, members should quickly call the poster on the mat on the forum -- simply removing it isn't enough --- cross-examination is the crucible for truth.

You might want to check with the Admins before posting links to other forums, despite how relevant they may be.

LOL "Posting" is when you write a reply in a thread, or give links to other sites. Hence why we have buttons like  .
