Then come back and tell us about it in forty years, when at least it will
resemble a boatanchor in being old and obsolete.

Of course, it still won't be a boatanchor, since it it isn't big and
bulky, and made with tubes.

You beat me to it. The 'announcement' looks like plain old SPAM to me.

I've had a very civilised email exchange with the owner of the website
mentioned and he has apologised. I've blocked the other bloke (trader?) who
was continually advertising stuff. Occasionally is of course OK
