I seriously do not have issues with consultants.
I have used consultants in the past with mixed success, overall the relationship
has been good.
It is my understanding that this forum was established for
industry professionals, and non-professionals alike, to network for the sole
purpose of education, knowledge, the sharing of ideas and to enhance both
personal skills and knowledge as well as help each of us move this industry into
the future with as much ease as possible.
I really don't mind hearing the opinion and receiving
assistance of consultants but when they offer to provide solutions for a price,
I believe they are stepping outside the scope of this forum.
Now, that's all I'll say on this matter.
And yes, in the future I'll either post their solicitations or
delete them.

Werner,
Technet is a place where people are
looking for solutions to their technical
questions. Most of the time, a
specific solution can not be given since the details of
the specific
applications are lacking, so people give out some generic ideas, or point
to
a source where one may find a solution. A consultant is such a source who may
have a
solution. Why it is unacceptable for such a source to contact that
person or company
directly ? This person may well have a solution to
their problem. And that is the
purpose of having this forum - finding
solutions to one's problems.
