Here's my NHSHO:

If a company advertises Internet connectivity, they should at _least_ be
able to:

1.  Give an email address.  Everytime I see an advertisement for BBS
software that claims that it can access the Internet, even through
UUCP, and they do not give an email address, that advertisement goes
into the circular file.  There are a lot of parties that do this.
There are a lot of advertisements that go into the trash.  If they
cannot even give an email address, then they are not worth the piece
of paper they lay their claims upon.

2.  Answer their email.  Again, how am I suppose to believe that
you really know what you are doing if you cannot even acknowledge
a simple email address?  Again, a lot of companies are guilty of
this, and I honestly don't know how they expect to stay in business.
