Woah... Becky, I can understand your being upset about your list being
moved, but don't be so quick to jump on Topica as being the bully here.
In business, companies and divisions are bought and sold on a routine
basis. Rarely are clients of companies given advance notice before
these events transpire.
Usually in buy-out arrangements, it is in the SELLERS best interest
not to divulge the deal in advance. I suspect that was the case here.
All you need to do is consider - who benefited the most from list
owners not given prior notice. Think about this for a minute.
