- Thanks. Sincerely. Nothing like a little controversy to spark

- someone else's) in order to see what I have to say. Ain't free

- You're not really stupid enough to actually claim everything written and not
- disclaimed to the contrary is objective? Maybe I ought to be selling
- Arizona oceanfront property.

- Thanks. I want all the exposure I can get. Commercial use of the
- net is a fact of life. A fact of life I plan to push tastefully but
- agressively. If you don't like my advertising then don't buy my
- products. Simple as that. The last thing I'd ever want is an unhappy
- customer. If you do, however, you'll be in an extreme minority judging
- from the response so far.
-
- At least we now have YOUR cards on the table. You don't like my .sig and
- the possibility of my making money from the net so you take a cheap
- shot regarding the Dell controversy. Now we know.
-
- Strange that you did not in the same whine complain about Dell and other
- commercial entities being active on the net providing commercial
- services in the form of tech support. I wonder how many people have bought
- Dell on the basis of its being on the net? Just to make sure I'm not
- misunderstood, I think it's great. I'm merely taking note of your selective
- whine.
