This concept I mentioned would NEVER overlap with this list in any way except for its tangential mention. In the proposed list policy that will be drafted I think that the only way to allow for the occasional post looking to pay for linux assistance is to 1) Have the subject include [Solicitation] or whatever to ease filtering 2) Require that an off-list contact be provided to avoid any of the negotiating traffic you so correctly wish to avoid. scott
