Part of the move to guarantee independence and non-interference was my establishing
Servers dedicated to the ARSlist, and the associated costs. I didn't enjoy companies moving the system from State to State without notice, or allowing law suits to force the removal of posts from the system. I also got tired of explaining to my bosses/Hosts that no they could not have the ARSlist membership list for an advertising campaign. This of course costs not just my time, but real dollars as well. Before you start, Canadian dollars aren't that much smaller than US these days, they are real dollars :-) So, I thought why not have a Platinum-Gold-Silver set of levels and go out to several of the Partner firms to test the waters and the concept. The reception has been mixed but is moving forward. My favorite BMC Partner was the first to commit, but those announcements come on March 1st . You know who they are, they sponsored several of the past ARSlist Award Sessions. I am looking for a few more companies willing to pay to have themselves advertised in several ways as being Key Supporters of the BMC Remedy [Atrium CMDB etc] Community, Friends of the ARSlist. This will be in the form of a Marketing Agreement. Please contact me directly for details if you are interested, serious inquiries only please, and I will send out the details. . Daniel Bloom [EMAIL PROTECTED] p.s. I had tried to get the Company whose web site claimed that they host the arslist to pay some cash towards it, but to no avail (lawsuit still pending). Fortunately they have changed their web site at least. I don't want to publicly state the Company, because the individuals involved are really good people, good at what they do and friends of mine. The problem wasn't caused by them and they shouldn't get smeared here for it. The problem was higher up in the Company. p.p.s. and there are no plans for pop ups or redirects to other sites . _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
