Steve, some of your comments here can be construed as threats to commit physical harm. I'm hoping that was not your intent.
From those statements alone, not even considering the rest of your tone, I would be unlikely to ever consider your service as a UK literary agent. Not when I already know of half a dozen who are far less confrontational and have proven industry contacts and knowledge.
I understand how AW discussions can veer into scary/infuriating territory for agents and publishers. Please, please take those comments as opportunities to analyze your public presence and business model, as others may see them from the outside. Or just stay calm and let the thread fossilize.
Nearly every post you've made here has reflected badly on your business. Those posts are now recorded for posterity even if you delete them (many writers know how to use Internet archive services).
I have no dog in this fight; my (very skilled) US agent has plenty of UK publishing contacts, should we wish to approach the UK market. But I feel badly for you, as you seem hardwired to respond in precisely the wrong ways to questions that are asked (or should be) of every agent and publisher.
