  I was under the same impression as you and my posting was only in
response to a number of requests asking for our address.  If the conscensus
is that this announcement was inappropriate, then I apologize and I will
certainly not let it happen again.
  I think one point to note however is that the net would not be paying
for my company's tech support.  The person who is benefitting
is the person who would have been making the long distance phone call to me.
