That is useful information as far as your bona fides are concerned.

Not necessarily. It is just that many here and in other Open/Free
Software communities are wary of commercial interests that do not give
back to the community. For instance, things like your post with regards
to the "mol problem" were of great help.
I just think you have to be a little more verbose in your posting to
make sure that your motives are transparent to all. For instance, if you
are, in fact, a satisfied user of cpanel who wants to stir up support
for the cpanel folks to port it to YDL, you should have made that clear
in your initial post. More people might have rallied to your cause, or
even suggested free or inexpensive alternatives that might accomplish
the same tasks for you.
Good luck, and welcome to the YDL community!
Best wishes,
Clint
