rather than try to ban a topic that's absolutely guaranteed to appear at
least twice a month. ;^)
Besides it seems like this is a losing proposistion. should we ban all
requests for a good CMS, a decent CC validator, a forum application or
whatever else because some members a vendors of solutions?
I wouldn't say that it should be made acceptable to plug it "all you want" -
but in context (as in when somebody specifically asks) it seems well within
reason. By definition a "plug" would both inform the requestor of your
service AND let them know that your affiliated with the service. As long as
everything's honest I've no complaint.
Of course I'm not in charge of the world either. I'm really gonna have to
do something about that sooner or later.

Subject: RE: CF Hosting - unfair - a suggestion
I'm one of those who doesn't feel comfortable plugging my own company and
services on this list. I think if we all plugged our own stuff all the
time, this list would lose its usefulness.
But I'm small but serious in the CF hosting business, and I often have to
sit by and watch as lots of my competitors get a free kick whenever anyone
asks about hosting. I don't feel comfortable shouting "HEY WHAT ABOUT ME!!
TRY ME TOO!!" and I know there are others on this list who feel the same.
Why don't we have a site somewhere where anyone - not just the chosen few -
can post details of their coldfusion hosting, and then ban the subject from
CF-Talk? Or else make it an acceptable use of this list to plug your own
hosting all you like on the list. Surely we have to be fair about it, and
if our competitors are going to get free plugs all the time without even
needing to be members of this list, we ought to feel comfortable to stand
up and shout them down too.
Since I've raised the subject (Do you like the way I worked that in there?
<g>), I'm in the hosting business too. I have a small but very flexible
business, hosting Coldfusion MX, .asp, .asp.net, php4.3, with MS
SQLServer2000 standard on all but the most basic level and if my standard
packages aren't exactly what you need, I can tailor a package to give you
precisely what you need. Details of the standard setups are at

conversion to US is about .75 at the moment, so if you're American you'll be
paying about three quarters of what you see there.
