Tony,
It does make it rather difficult when perhaps the fix to a person's
problem does lie in a product that just happens to be sold by the
answerer. I, personally, liked your little demo and showed it to a few
people out here. Was it an ad? That's questionable because it does
contain advertising material but also some good instruction.
I know when someone sends a blatant ad or not so I can delete it if I
wish. However, sometimes I find a little nugget of information I was
looking for even in the ads.
I expect them on a list like this where you have a variety of users that
also build products for sale.
Jerry
