We all live with personal tragedy.  The greater the tragedy, the greater the
potential for personal improvement.

You seem to have a different reason why you're keeping a side business every time
you post.  

So far, I see more html written for WEG than for GM EFI.  It looks like the part
for GM EFI is the "thanks to...", maybe intended to keep you out of trouble with
the list.

Had I been in your shoes, I would not have ever considered making a "dual purpose"
page.  It just seems wrong.  I have no doubt that you will include a reference to
diy_efi
on your web page.  I hope it's in good taste, and that it's written so as not to
imply that the list endorses your business, or exists to troubleshoot your
sales.  

Asking for suggestions from list members to improve the web page which you are also
using to help sell your product is not right.  You should give fair compensation
for any help you get.  Sharing the web page you wrote for your business is not fair
compensation.  This is especially true since the commercial page is freely and
openly accessible to anyone on the net.  You feel I'm picking on you.  I feel
you've abused the good will of the list, and you continue to do so with actions
such as this.

A post like this from time to time may prevent other people from becoming as
disappointed as I
have.

I think you _should_ quit your day job to build harnesses full time.  It would be a
good exercise for you.  You may acquire a new appreciation for the amount of work
it
takes to make a quality product.  Then you should offer to help the neighbor's kid
by building a free harness, while he takes that same harness and sells it for a
buck.  That would also be a good experience.

I'm sorry your business is failing.  Maybe you shouldn't be in business for
yourself.  Please don't ask for sympathy from me for the amount of time you work,
for the effort it takes to raise kids, etcetera.  It would be like showing scars. 
The general list population includes folks who'll beat you and me.

Personally, I don't know anyone who has $20,000 to loan out, nor have I ever felt I
have the
time to play golf.  I couldn't imagine someone who is struggling to raise 4 kids
and save a business while working full time even considering playing golf 2 days a
week.  It's so good of
you to give it up during these tough times you're going through.

If you think what you can do now is amazing, you should try to do it without
complaining.  You will be truly amazed at how many people suddenly seem to be
whining about their personal problems.

What would you consider to be more than the least you can do?
