Hi Dave,

First of all let me say that I value your contribution to this group.

There are many traders posting useful advice here but I think you are
unique in that you frequently make posts requesting information on how to
best do jobs that you are going to perform for financial gain. That being the
case I can see how some could view those posts being of a commercial
nature and therefore OT.

My own thoughts are that although you are being paid for these jobs, you
are in effect a paid DIYer and so the advice you seek is useful and relevant
to others and therefore OK. If however this group was to be flooded by
numerous Brand X handymen asking how best to perform their paid work, I
think my opinion would change.

I don't think that a trader's name in a sig makes Steve Dawson's or any
others' posts commercial.

Please keep contributing.
