No need to apologise (well, certainly not to me, at least). In fact I agree with you. I believe that we should know who every one is on the forum, and especially those who come on here asking for this, that and the other.
How many times have helping hands been extended, only for us to learn later that some guy or other has used the information to make a fast buck? Answer:- a few times (to my certain knowledge).
Why can't everyone be upfront about who they are, who they represent, and what it is they are trying to do?
PS: I appreciate your neat bit of back-tracking, there, by the way. Head-hunting. Yeah, right.
