NFI = No Financial Interest

It means that he's endorsing a company because he thinks they are
good to work with, not because he's getting a cut of the profits.

For example, if one of you wrote "Donate to Team.Net, it is great!"
the motive would be you enjoy the services provided and would like
to see them continue.  If *I* wrote "Donate to Team.Net" there is
a definite financial interest behind it.  I need to make some repairs
to my ski chalet in the Alps, all of my Bugattis need oil changes
and my mistresses have all been watching the Masters and commenting
on how cute Tiger looks and ignoring me.

Okay, so maybe I'm stretching the truth a bit.  I do, in fact, appreciate
those of you who took to heart the recent 'Fools and Funding' message.

But it can be difficult sometimes to determine whether somebody is
endorsing something out of the goodness of their heart or the thickness
of their wallet.
