I'm not interested in taking revenues from people who want to be listed. 
I'll make some disclaimers in regards to that just to make sure people 
have no misconceptions.

I'm not interested in under cutting the hard work of the LAD community 
if you are worried about that. Do you realise that I run Boost Hardware? 
If you haven't already seen the website for BH you should take a look, 
that will give you a better impression of what some of my motivation is.

Well I don't consider the work put in by the LADers to be nothing and I 
most certainly don't consider the work I do to be nothing. In terms of 
money I would like to be financially stable solely from selling the 
equipment I can build. Currently that isn't how I make my cash.

Anyway in terms of the pecking order of people who seem to be giving a 
lot for no financial return, I'm pretty low in the ranks.
