We'd be grateful if you could actually identify the product number of
the tool involved so we can check your claims for accuracy.It's easy  to
bandy figures about whilst not using the actual product involved in your
argument.


> > In addition - none of the above companies spam newsgroups.

Neither do we. Any newsgroup we appear on has a business-public or
public-public advertising bias. We value our relationship with our ISP
too much to indulge in multiple spamming and as recipients of spam
ourselves would not subject others to completely irrelevant data. Note
the newsgroups involved. The word advert is there for a reason, surely?

Again, we think your comment regarding spam is incorrect. The same goes
for your comment regarding overpricing, which is somewhat missing the
point. We do not promote ourselves as a bargain basement 'pile-em-high &
sell-'em-quick' operation, nor  would that be the type of image we would
wish to promote. We're sure some products we advertise are available
cheaper elsewhere. That's the nature of commerce, and we would be
outright liars to claim otherwise. Bur we DO offer ALL our customers a
high quality, good value service across the board.
