You know whats neat about all this discussion? We can actually change
things on the site.
So big ups to NEKLS for hosting and for LIz for setting it all up and
making changes.

I really don't care what order the companies are, alphabetical is
easy, thats why I did them that way when I shifted from the old site.
All I want is to provide no judgement at all, if people are worried
that coming first alphabetically somehow is saying this company is
better than another then lets change the order. Personally I think if
a client picks the first company out of a list just because it's first
... you probably don't want them as a client anyway.
Someone has to be first someone has to be last, whatever order we
choose as the default should be consistent so people can spot new
entries.
