Well, if you're not saying that the original poster is doing that,
then what was your point in posting your message?  Either you think
that they're ripping people off, or you don't.  If you want to
backpedal now, just tell us that you don't have the courage to make
direct criticism, but you are interested in innuendo and implication.
Your future clients want to know about these things.  It's important
to see the ethics of your business partners up front, rather than
later.

Similarly, I also believe that a good business will prosper by
offering reasonable rates along with quality service.  I see that your
rates are more than reasonable---in fact, you're operating at a loss.
What I want to know is if you intend to compete solely based on price.
Since you don't seem to be offering good servers, that's my conclusion:
poor service at bargain rates.  If you want to answer my question instead
of dancing around your accusation, I'd appreciate it.

It would also be helpful if you would admit to having a name.  With all of
the discussion over your signature, you seem to have missed the main point:
not trying to make your patently offensive advertisment somewhat less
offensive; but to make your signature reflect who you are and how people
can get in touch with you.  Sending mail to "webmaster" doesn't do anything
for me.  Do you have a name?   Or was that left out to keep the costs low?

Best wishes,
