I stand by my statement that "free is great but you get what MY major point was that I don't think you give a proper disclaimer on some of your posts. While you may be following posting guidelines for vendors providing information and not sales pitches I still think you should fully disclose your interest. Disclaimers to the effect of "Disclaimer: I work for the company who's product I'm discussing so take this with a grain of salt." are nice. There are a lot of naive people out there who don't/can't always notice the connection. I know you have Intercon in your .sig but from some of your posts (and this goes for others too, like I saw one from Apple today) it is not perfectly clear. That's my beef. _I_ like to know where people are coming from. As for: > - I resent being accused of "spouting all over the net." When people ask Well I guess a lot of people are asking questions. I just did a quick grep of my news database and found oodles of posts. And I expire posts pretty quickly. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I see your posts all over the place and you're usually discussing your product. For the casual observer you look suspiciously overzealous. Send me a copy of TCP/Connect and I'll shut up. :) Rand P. Hall UUCP: {uunet,wang,ulowell}!samsung!hubdub!rand Merrimack College CSNET: rand@merrimack.edu N.
