Re: rip off Britain!
do the words retard come to mind?
do you, for a moment in time, think a unix user would actually have to think
about what is and isn't cheap hosting?
and, if one did, I'm pretty damn sure he or she isn't going to trust some
piece of spam, but rather reviews, and other various articles posted about
the various web hosters in the world.
spamming mailing lists isn't too cool, its stupid and gets you noooooooo
where, and only gives you a BAD look, _not_ a good one.
