Here's why it matters: I had a discussion with Paul Borghese (owner of Groupstudy) a while back regarding messages on this list that are from people trying to tout their websites or products. As long as the messages are helping someone with a problem on this list (which you were, and that's cool) and the person writing the message makes note of their involvement with the product or service, then the message is in good taste. Paul doesn't want this list to become a list of advertisements for anyone who has a Cisco product to sell, which I can understand. That's why whenever I mention CCxx Productions, Network Learning, Quizware, or Boson (whom I'm not too fond of right now) when trying to help someone with a certification question or trying to help them save money on their certification study materials, I make note of any involvement that I've had with them in the past, present, or future.
