Roderick,

are you actually fishing and / or hoping for comments and
mails directly to you to then tell your story and sell some?
You throw so many pieces in here and there, it sounds like
advertising, like your daily promotional verses all in one
email thread. Despite your comments being all so innocent,
this is not isp-bandwidth...

So at the minimum make your role clear for everyone, and
play with open cards. And save yourself the .sig and the
disclaimer please...

Thanks,
Alexander
