Re: Info request...



Stephen, is this what they call 'flaming'? One minute you're running a
business and the next you're 'moonlighting' for some lucky organic farmer!
Your first response to me was nothing less than brusque... Unfortunate,
maybe... graceless certainly. Shame you couldn't have seen it from this
side of the screen. It was downright rude.

So you are in fact running a business?  In that case, you're using this
public forum as a tool for advertising (and we are paying to have to
download that material); but the main point is not that you're doing so (of
course we all have to make a living) but that you're switching between
being a business one minute to being an altruist the next at YOUR
convenience without informing people as to which side of the fence you're
sitting on or who you're serving. You are also USING the people on this
list as information sources - how are we to know what you're doing with
that information if you don't bother to tell us?

By the way, how did you know it was you I was talking about? Of course, I
could have named names, but thought that was a bit childish - something
like implying that I don't know that businesses charge for their
services...

Sincere best wishes, and have a nice day,
