Now, see... since I know Jay is the owner of didforsale.com, I 
understood 'we' to be didforsale.com in that above sentence. To me, that 
read: "Didforsale.com has been very busy porting numbers from Vitelity 
[because of Vitelity's charges]."  Now, whether that's true or not, I'd 
consider such a statement neither deceptive nor 'assholic.'

It's like saying car X handles better than car Y and is cheaper, too.  
Or "Coke tastes better than Pepsi."  Pretty standard comparitive marketing.

Should Jai have come out and said "I represent didforsale.com" somewhere 
in his posting? Perhaps. Should he have signed it as the corporate 
owner? Maybe. But he's been around here long enough that maybe he didn't 
think it was necessary to mention it.

I, for one, almost never mention the company I run in these emails, and 
I VERY rarely sign my emails with my corporate identity. To me, it feels 
too much like using the list as a marketing tool instead of an exchange 
of business-related information.  I'm sure I'm missing out a little on 
some marketing, but this list is such that, were I to say the wrong 
thing, I'd be sure to be 'shredded' right and left, and THAT'S certainly 
never good marketing. ;)

Oh... and by the way... my company? Totally awesome. And much better 
than all the others.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. ;)
