It is true, I am the Director of Sales for Direct EDI, Inc. (not EDI Direct...that is a product name of one of our competitors ;D ). I respect your desire to have an informational forum without sales influence. I learn a good deal from this community and your expertise. The conference line is yours to use, no hidden agenda.
