Re: Was I for them, or against them? carp Still trying to research that :-) IIRC, like most of the others, you were simply giving me 'netiquette' about spamming your business to the list. I could answer a direct question about business, specific topics, and sources- including mine- but it would be rude to just 'blast' my company out there unsolicited. Had to include the disclaimers as well ;-) It has been advice that I have followed scrupulously ever since, not even but rarely including my 'evil corporate type' web addy in the signature line :-) I remember getting emails to the tune of "hey- I didn't know you were that guy also" which told me I was following y'alls advice pretty good :-D There was the occasional toast of someone that had a 10 line advertising sig line that would appear with a one word response to an answer! I can only imagine what went on off list :-) And, thankfully, most of it did occur off list. -Jim C http://www.StepUpforCharity.org (also known as the evil corporate type who inhabits http://www.wildpepper.com preying upon the unsuspecting for at least a little while longer) :-D
