Thanks josh for your post and continuing to make myself amongst other
budding entrepreneurs the ongoing obsession consuming your pastime-Your
posting about Intras combined with your previous posting on my other company
Imco confirm my thoughts that your interest lies with me and not just domain
related issues.

I would have advertised this latest venture  to the list but would have been
unanimously criticized for posting off topic.

Or is anything about me on topic? Does that mean I can post what I like or
is it only anything negative about me that is acceptable?

Anyway that's another argument altogether.

As the topic's obviously accepted here I'll promote our latest product
Intras NetSecurity to potential distributors, I'll keep it short as not to
waste your valuable day with useless humbo jumbo.

While domains have shown to be a lucrative growth industry expanding your
product range to existing and potential customers can provide extra revenue
with little addition to your fixed costs.

We have developed a new product Intras NetSecurity aiming to easily assist
users with common security problems. We have done extensive product and
market research over the last 12 months including research on affiliate
adware programs. The product is currently being distributed as trial
versions as a promotional campaign.

The single user licence is available for $199 with no obligation to purchase
upgrades.

The pricing you've mentioned is for a 25 user licence business suite, this
equates to $145 per licence plus $10 per month (per user) over 48 months.
Something you seem to have forgotten on your posting.

We are open to developing affiliate type distribution arrangements-
potential distribution partners please email mail&#167;brad.com.au

A bit of food for thought
