We have had many TA's over the 10+ years RTC has been around that have
posted PR posts.
The content of these PR posts "are" on topic. They have to do with
cruising and are informative in the way they are telling you/us that
read RTC what is coming from different cruise lines. This has been
discussed over the years by those that wrote the Charter for this
newsgroup and they consider these posts as part of RTC.
If you do not think these posts are on topic then you can do several things:
-filter out these posts using filters built into news readers
-ignore the posts
-write a RFD and post it for discussion and then a RFV will be called
sometime down the road if needed.
I think it is safe to say the majority of the people here find these
posts informative and on topic.

Humour for the thinking person:
1) Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for
centuries' have a 'use by' date?
2) Live every day as if it were your last. Eventually you’ll be right.
