Hi People!

Just to set the record straight.

Yes, I did write the short biography and the little entry about my consultancy. If that is forbidden, then by all means we must remove the entries.

In fact, I did the entry when I was working on the RepRap article some months ago so that the RepRap article "People" section would have something to link to. I didn't really have any motive beyond that. As you can see both of the entries were very brief and to the point. As well, they've not seen much change since their posting.

None of the other intentions that I've seen suggested in your guidelines, viz, self-promotion, business seeking and the like were in the least intended or real. I have a full consulting load and am not seeking either new business or new customers. I'm also approaching the end of my career rather than it's beginning, so I'm not really very interested in self promotion, either.

You noticed that my "company" website is a mess. It certainly is. It was last active in the late 1990's and I just reinstituted the domain. Just why, I'm not completely sure since the domain really has no point. The old, old main page is partially up. It's not commercial and it needs a rewrite, something I haven't had time to attend to, since I stopped doing text mining consulting a long time ago.

As I have said, I had no ulterior motives in doing the entries for my name and little company beyond making links for the reprap article. If this warrants their being deleted, fine. If there is something that wants doing so that the entries can be brought up to an acceptable Wikipedia standard, I would certainly appreciate a little help in that regard.

Thanks,

Forrest Higgs aka plaasjaapie
