Ralph,    (01)


We do have a non-commercial policy toward contributions to this forum
(see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidLMK).    (02)

Since your work have been cited (and not offered by yourself or your
staff), making a response on-list and invite the person (who asked the
initial question) to contact you for more information is ok. Offering
promotional material would be more appropriately done off-list. Hope
you can understand.    (03)


Thanks & regards.  =ppy    (04)
