My name is Marc Timothy Smith - the 'owner' of the Elsmar Cove.

I was shown several links here to my web site the other day. With all the fuss about this site and someone recently showing me some existing links I came and saw and signed up.

My field is quality assurance and business systems. I put in some external links to my forum in several topics (now all removed I see) because there are already existing 'commercial' links such as to isixsigma.com - I assume you are saying here that links to some "commercial" sites are OK but links to others are not OK.

I thought I would be helping here by adding some external links to the Elsmar Cove discussion forums in topic pages whose subject we focus on.

I added the Elsmar Cove page in part because it is the oldest quality assurance forum still on the internet.

BTW - If I was a "link spammer" I'd have been more discreet and put in many, many entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc T Smith (talk • contribs)
