CodeHelp is not just a not-for-profit site, it's a completely free site. I do not charge for help or advice on the site, I do not give preference to queries that offer to pay for advice, nor will I accept such payments. I will not undertake paid commissions of any type. I will not work for anyone on any computer related project and I will never ask for payment for advice offered. I do not need a job in IT, I do not offer myself as a contract programmer, freelance operator or any kind of team player. I do not want or seek help with the site from any third party, particularly if money is involved - either as expense or income. Linux users will be familiar with the concept of completely free support, Windows users seem forever bemused that information is available without anyone having to be paid to produce it! In the best traditions of the Linux community, this site really is 'Just for Fun'. Thanks for the idea, Linus. > believe we have a win / win opportunity.

You obviously cannot read, you have no understanding of tact or courtesy. You do not understand the simplest, clearest instructions or requests. You are an absolute imbecile and your company is obviously staffed with zombies. > View our products and sign up: > http://www.vonset.com/business.htm If you had bothered to READ the website you would have known in advance that I am NEVER going to be interested in your spam. Your email has been reported to Razor as verified spam - unsolicited commercial email. In case you doubt that it is spam, here's the bare bones: 1. I did not request contact with you - therefore your email to me is unsolicited. 2. Your email quotes earning commission and cost savings and is therefore commercial. (as in commerce: the exchange of services or products for a fee.) Tell me, how do you propose that I save money on something that is FREE?? http://mail-abuse.org/standard.html 1. the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients Fact: You wrote to me without a name at all - despite my name being clearly part of the website. You made no effort to explain which products might interest me and why, despite plenty of information on the about.html page. 2. the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; Fact: This is obvious - I have not and do not grant such permission. 3. the transmission and reception of the message appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender. Fact: You quote costs when my site is CLEARLY free of all charges - if you'd bothered to READ the site you would have seen that. Any maths student will tell you that your licence cost divided by my fee (zero) gives a ratio equal to infinity - comparing zero to infinity, by definition, is disproportionate. You have been added to my Hall of Shame on the above page. (You are the second idiots to ignore the page). Your stupidity will remain on display until such time as I see fit to change it. > PS: As a webmaster, our Web Guard 2000 website monitoring software can > save you hundreds or thousands of dollars of lost revenue from website > downtime. ? save me money I don't spend - gee that sounds dumb. ? save me money that the site doesn't earn - that sounds implausible. > Web Guard 2000 monitors unlimited websites 24/7 and will send SMS text > messages to your cell phone, email, or ICQ in the event any website is > offline.
