That's absolutely not true!! Where would you get THAT idea??
"Kathryn Ann McCormick" wrote in message ... Once I found the right web address I found that most of her reviews were contributed by her advertisers.

cruise trip report and FAQ last posted 5/1/04
rec.travel.cruises
(unmoderated) CHARTER Rec.travel.cruises is a forum whose purpose is to provide information and support to cruise ship travellers. Discussion might include (but not be limited to) the relative merits of the various cruise ships and lines, ports of embarkation, ports of call, shore excursions, cruise ship activities, cuisine, entertainment, cruise ship personnel, cruise ship management and the future of cruise ship travel. Discussions related to getting the best deals on cruises will be highly welcome. Such discussions might include early vs. late bookings, money back guarantees, cruise protection insurance, the use of general vs. cruise specific travel agencies and strategies for booking your own cruises. Any topic that relates to cruise ship travel and the cruise industry itself could be subject for discussion. In addition, discussion will be allowed on the history of cruise ship and ocean liner travel. Rec.travel.cruises will: 1. Help the traveller make an informed decision in how to book a cruise without the pressure of a travel agent (travel agents are welcome to the group and are encouraged to participate in the discussion provided that there shall be no overt solicitation of business within postings). 2. Provide the new cruiser with the benefit of the experience of veteran cruises. 3. Provide the new cruiser with information as to what to expect once he or she actually arrives on the ship ready to sail. Such topics as cruise ship dress codes, dining room traditions, shopping, booking shore excursions and tipping are all topics that the first time cruiser needs to be familiar with. An FTP site will be maintained for related rec.travel.cruises files. These files will include a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's). Members of the newsgroup who go on cruises will be asked to write reviews of their experiences. These cruise reviews will be stored at the FTP site and will serve as a very valuable resource to anyone looking into sailing on the same ship or itinerary. In addition, a comprehensive listing of all cruise ships and lines will be maintained as part of the FAQ's. In summary, rec.travel.cruises encourages the free and open discussion on all aspects of cruise ship travel. Justifiable criticism of specific cruise ships and lines will be welcome up to the point of becoming personal vendettas against a specific ship or line. Users are strongly urged to keep messages of a confrontational or argumentative nature to a minimum. Finally, it is requested that articles posted to rec.travel.cruises not be crossposted to rec.travel or the other travel newsgroups.

I have never NOT given you a straight answer. I have absolutely NOTHING to hide. Ask me any question you want, and I will give you an answer. I'll ask a question. Did you bother to read the charter before posting here? Did you read what is specifically prohibited? --Tom |

cruise trip report
Uh, I just read the charter posted by Kathryn, Tom, and I don't see that
prohibited. Am I missing something? In a way, it's a moot point anyway; usenet newsgroups originated at a time when the net was non-commercial, and anything commercial was anathema. The times they are a-changing. Eileen Tom & Linda wrote: "L.Hachey" wrote in message news:%LDoc.461477$oR5.273742@pd7tw3no... Thanks, Chrissy. Of course I do hope to increase my income, as does any person who works in the world, or almost anyone who creates serviceable website. But still at the same time I do intend to offer a service to people. While I understand it's in everyone's nature to be suspicious and leary these days, I'm not "the man" or "the big corporation" out there to suck money out of everyone. I"m just the little guy, trying to earn an honest living like everyone else, working hard trying to do that. The problem is that the RTC charter prohibits exactly that. Go work hard somewhere else. Not here. It's not permitted by charter. --Tom |

People write these reports TYPICALLY to share with others for the means of HELPING others to plan their trips. Truth is, you are a web development company that captures data when folks visit your website(s)..of which you have many. you then use this data surreptitiously to entice advertisers to pay you money to be present on your various websites. the fact that you are "helpful" is oh so nice but has nothing to do with your rather hidden agenda(s). Btw, with respect to security, you claim to always use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged with our site. What exactly are these standards and which ones do you use...I mean since yo fail to list them. |

You came on a newsgroup which has its own fair share of spamadvertisers, spamadvertising yourself. You got your free spamadvertising and now you expect to waltz around and claim hoe horribly you been treated? LOL There are no free lunches. |
