Huh?  I'm not trying to fool anyone.  It's true that I have provided
services to people who use this list and I will continue to do so.  I also
spend hours every week answering questions on this list and other lists
and helping people on-list, off-list and over the phone for free.  I
rarely mention anything about the services I'm able to provide and if I 
do it's in context and in passing and I've certainly never *advertised*
any services here.  Not everyone is a Linux admin and there's no reason
everyone needs to be.  I provide fast, quality service at reasonable rates
and people enjoy doing business with me.  I don't think that's a crime or
underhanded in any way.  And if you question my motivation for helping
here I should also mention that I'm leading a group of people developing
a GPLed knowledgebase at http://www.cobaltzone.com/ that others will be
able to mirror and it should be live within a few weeks.  I hope that the
site will help reduce the repeated questions found on this list, but I'm
sure any business I generate from this list will go down as a result.  I
have a thick skin and can handle criticism, but I can't tolerate having my
integrity being questioned in a public forum without responding.
