That may all be true, but to me it tarnishes your image if you post a 
self-promotional message to an otherwise non-commercial list, especially by 
taking advantage of a thread in which one of your competitors is getting flak.

I think it's great that so many service providers who offer services to indie 
businesses are monitoring this mailing list, and responding to concerns that 
are sometimes raised about specific services. But I bet I'm not the only one 
who is turned off when competitors try to swoop in for a plug. You may be doing 
your business more harm than good with this kind of approach.

Daniel
