Go for it. I used Dr. Newton and I liked what he did but you have every
reason to do as you are doing. It is certainly not dishonest or wrong in any
way that I can see and I think you are offering a valuable service to people
wherever they live.
This whole thing has become ridiculous.

Heiko, your English knowledge is excellent. You've hit the nail on the
head. "Dr Newton" no matter how high-quality and ethical he may be (and I
don't doubt he is) needs to grow up and stop sulking. If he had followed
Chris' emails from the beginning he would have seen that Chris was offering
a service to Australians and New Zealanders. Overseas people approached him
not vice versa. I certainly didn't get the impression that he was trying to
compete with "Dr Newton". Even so, what's the big deal if he was/is?
Chris, I too feel like you are being portrayed as some sort of "bad guy" and
think that this is totally unjustified. As a fellow Australian I know how
expensive it is to get just about anything done in the US and, although I
have no need for your service, I appreciate your efforts in making the
service affordable to Aussies.
Patrick, I couldn't agree more. This thing has become ridiculous.
Finally, to those who stated or implied that what Chris was offering was
somehow not quite right I say get off your high horse. When you hear about
someone offering a service that you think is too expensive (like Ferdi and
his backlight replacement business) you give them a public bashing on this
list. Then when someone offers an inexpensive service (like Chris is dong)
you give them a bashing too. It's a wonder anyone wants to offer a service
to this community (and I use that word loosely) when it appears that "you're
damned if you do and you're damned if you don't".
Flames directly to me rather than bothering the list with them please
(patrick2_at_goldenglow.com.au).
Regards,
Patrick.
