Like most technological companies, they probably have started to get one too many marketing executives in, where marketing drives the direction of the company without any thought or concern to the technical aspects of any project.
At some point, the IT department becomes slaves to marketing. Marketing then thinks its invincible and thinks that anything they do will never interfere with the reputation of the company. At some point, they reach their peak, and it's all downhill from there. In my opinion, OpenSRS is flirting with impending doom if they do not pay attention to their long time resellers who are watching OpenSRS grow like a weed. Grow fast and large? Yes. Grow ugly? Yes, that too.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Gordon Sent: December 9, 2006 10:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [domains-gen] expired pages ads Wooh. Popunders. Next up, in their descent, Tucows will start offering a downloadable toolbar for IE that will secretly install parasites that turn machines into spam zombies. Pretty sure that the next step that a company takes in it's never- ending search for maximised revenue for it's shareholders. Grrrrr. What happened to the opensrs we used to know and love?
