I'd say it was OK to add a corporate website to your sig (e.g. Dirk) If I'm
interested then I can look further, if not, then I don't.

....and I'm neither of your two kinds by the way.... but I know what you
mean.

Ah, Steve, surely you could not have missed Mike's point -- his is
almost
a
word-for-word copy of what you use to flog your for-pay service in the
newsgroup. Have a nice day.


There are two kinds of people on this group: available consultants and
potential customers. I would love to come to this group and say, "HEY
EVERYONE I CAN FIX IT HIRE ME!!!!". I just think that's inappropriate for
this group.

I've wanted, for some time, to add a sig line to my posts and use these
groups more frequently in hopes of getting the word out, but I don't. I'm
sure others feel the same way. Usenet, especially these tech groups, is
not
a place where its acceptable to hock your wares.

Where to advertise? How to get the word out on what you do? That's
off-topic
to this group. To answer that question I would suggest people try the
newsgroup misc.business.marketing.moderated, misc.business.consulting or
alt.computer.consultants.moderated. (FWIW, I moderate two of those three
groups.)

IMHO.

Mike
