If you really believe what you said (and was not because our site is also wiki, so "competitive" in the minds of some ppl) then the admins of Wikipedia can have a discussion and decide on whether I should leave or not. I promise you that if all admins agree that I must leave from Wikipedia and the mailing list, I will do that, just to show you that my intention has nothing to do with promoting my websites.
Also consider that I have placed links to other people's sites, too, and that all the links I place are relevant and beneficial to the reader. On occasions where some of my links where removed with a good reason, I didn't reinserted the link. A true spammer would just repost his spamlinks, but I didn't. See for example [[University of Oxford]] where I posted a link to my report on the University's computing facilities. The remover didn't say it was spam, and I considered his reason not entirely invalid.
I don't care whether the links will be removed or not, but I just want to emphasise that it is *not* an attempt to spam Wikipedia.
I have also contributed and relicensed under the GFDL some of my articles, and posted them on Wikipedia. If that's not a contribution, then what is considered to be a contribution?
