My first thought was to say I sold them, and to use my price in the
example, not Comodo's.

Then I decided I wouldn't either mention that I sell them, or my price,
but rather give the price on the Comodo site, and let people buy them
where they may.  All to avoid appearance of impropriety.  A moment ago I
decided in a previous reply to admit I (and others) sell them.

It seems I just can't win <wry grin>.

I think mentioning in a recommendation that you and others provide the service is different than an ad. I wrote to you that your whitepaper sounded like an ad. I also read you second mentioned reply. It was done professionally and would not offend. I think the difference is the talent of the wording.


But I'm trying <smile>.  I spent months examing certs and learning about
them before I decided which ones to sell.  I've got an agreement with
Comodo that if we can form a buyers consortium here in the states we can
get even better pricing.  Anyone interested in buying them direct from
Comodo at even better pricing, contact me offlist <smile>.

I can continue to sell them for my price, or I can offer us all an
opportunity to get them at a lower price.  I choose the latter.
