[Jose Villegas]

What about saying "I charge x for y". If I can put this on my website, 
is it any different than telling people on a mailing list? Membership 
on this list isn't restricted, so if a customer were curious, they 
could always sign up and see what developers are talking about. 
Similarly, a customer can write me and ask, "how much do you charge for 
y?" How different is this if I go on this list and ask, "How much do 
you all charge for y?" After all, we are all each other's potential 
customers/clients.
