> You could have posted just the list of companies since it was your own info but you chose to include the URL ? Posting the URL took one line, took me 2 seconds, and did not force those who were not interested in reading the list to read it. I answer many questions by posting URLs, some to my site, some to others, there is no bias. Posting a list of companies would have required me to open up the source code, remove all of the HTML coding, and reformat the information in a manner that would have been easy for SI readers to view. I did not have the time to do that, so the alternative was not answering the question at all. > And were you aware you were getting free advertisement on the SI forum ? It's a very fine line. I try to post links to specific pages when they answer a specific question. I do it mostly to save my time typing. Otherwise, I don't even mention my site or include the URL. It is not in this post. Also, I could include my site name and URL at the bottom of every one of my posts, but do not do that either. It would be blatant advertising and most inappropriate. P.S. SI used to have a link to my site under the old format, but it is gone under the new format.

INTERNET » By Ian Lynch [09 Oct 2000] Lloyds TSB online banking hit by glitch Back-office staff at Lloyds TSB had to work frantically this afternoon to smooth out glitches with its internet banking service after a connectivity problem left customers unable to access their accounts. The bank said it had trouble with the website all afternoon, eventually identifying the problem as a connectivity fault between it and some ISPs that it was able to fix in-house. A Lloyds TSB spokeswoman stressed that it was not a server or a software problem but simply down to incompatibilities it had with some ISPs. The bank declined to single out any particular ISPs. "Several customers have contacted us since lunchtime to complain they have been unable to access their accounts through the website. The problem turned out to be a connectivity fault between us and some internet service providers and was fixed as of 4.25pm," a Lloyds TSB representative told vnunet.com. The bank recently redesigned its website and has been promoting it heavily through TV advertising. vnunet.com
