[ILUG] Hypocrisy?

[Alan]

So who can not read, on the www.linuxmall.com  there is at least three
places that you can find contact detail, The person operating this business
JMC software is a person with a registered trading name. The telephone
number is on the front page.
in the contact us section and in the wholesale section.

As for the other site that you referred to, yes it is exactly the same as
www.thelinuxmall.com but is not finished. The site belongs to my company
Take Stock Security which is a registered trading name of Take Stock
Limited.
So I would suggest that you visit http://www.cro.ie/search and do a little
search, instead of making ridiculous unfounded remarks.

When I referred to a lot of hard work going into the site. this referred
more to the business. the underlying structure of the site was developed
over 5 years ago.
So which came first "the chicken or the egg"

So a lot of hard work was put into this site!, but a Windows 2000 host was
chosen, presumably before the site development began.

Strange, this site looks very very similar to www.thelinuxmall.com,
apparently
a Linux reseller, but using Windows 2000 to host their website.

Both sites only refer to their "Business Name", not an actual registered
company, or individual trading as. Neither of these sites provide actual
physical contact details, in the form of an address, or telephone number.

I would not buy from them even if they did use Linux for hosting.
