I dunno guys...
I'm sitting here behind the screen... shaking my head and laughing.
Mr. Conte, you need not apologize. You have a viable business that is interesting to mariners and I appreciate you making us aware of the same. However, you should have stopped with the apology. Instead, you steered the conversation right back into (and this is just my opinion) more self-promotion with another hyperlink.
This thread was REALLY about how our members want this site to evolve. I'm sorry, it was not so much about your service and how competitive or justified your business is. I'm going to step away from this. If others want to address this, then by all means, I'd be interested their comments and I'll take the action appropriated by the concensus of our members.
This gentlemen's follow up post is the exact reason why I chimed in on this thread to begin with. If I'm wrong, or looking at this with jaded eyes, then I am open to being corrected. Either way, it's up to our members, because they decide what they want and do not want on this forum.
