Hi Jonathan

You can email me directly any time you like. People should learn what
'spam' is, spam is not just unsolicited e.g it was not asked for, but
also usually offers a product or service you was not really looking for.

Clearly this is not the case on both levels. As far as I'm aware your
action was correct in offering a service off-list. While in some groups
it is perfectly acceptable to give prices and promote company's others
frown on it.

As the request was subjected "Dedicated Arch servers" I take the view
someone is looking to purchase a service.

Take Care
