I have never _initiated_ any discussions pertaining to the services
that we provide.  I have simply offered a solution to a problem posed
by others.  The fact that you do not agree with my option does not make
it wrong.  I do not feel as though I am using marketing tactics, just
offering alternative solutions.  I am tempted to post these alternative
solutions because nobody else has the nerve to offer them for fear of
retaliation.  I find it interesting that all the postings slam what I
have said, but almost all of the e-mail I have received has been very
postitive.  In fact, I have asked these people to post to the
newsgroup, they decline because they don't want to read messages like
this about themselves.
 
Since I do not know whether the vast majority of subscribers are
uninterested and/or offended by my postings, I will make you a deal.
If I do not receive many supportive e-mail and postings, I will stop
posting.  I think that more people are interested in what I am
proposing than you think.  If I am wrong, I will stop. I do not want to
offend the list.
