I received a copy of that message. I thought it had come on in on this list 
(because of my mail filters putting almost anything to do with Revolution 
into a separate single folder), but checking back I see it didn't appear here.

I did wonder if there was some risk of conflict between this service that 
RR will offer and existing consultants - and then figured that since no-one 
mentioned it, I was just being overly sensitive on behalf of you guys who 
make a living from this kind of thing.

Or the one about "porting solution originally written in ..." ?
Doesn't a very similar statement appear on a number of websites of 
contributors here ?
