Funny Theft from McHost
Look at this page:
http://www.mchost.com/plans/
and then look at this page:
http://www.host2host.ca/plans/
Not only did host2host.ca steal text from McHost, but they forgot to substitute their company's name for McHost's name!
It's too bad they didn't copy McHost's prices, too. Pretty steep.

Yeah, they completely copied our old design. Even now it still looks very similar. And the 'MCHost' text ...

Sheesh! Wouldn't you think a hosting Co could afford a simple piece of software with search and replace? (homesite ought to do it) Or maybe they couldn't figure out how to use it? Too funny!
DANG DANG! DANG!!™
I know ***** ripped off everybody else, but they wouldn't do it to me.
