ChickenSteak, I do apologize if there was a misunderstanding. Please let "bowman" know of the rules associated with this forum. Yes, I posted a request in the web host requests forum, which you replied to, then "bowman" replied to it 3 times with the same message.

Well, I've never considered cold calling on someone that showed he was in the market spam.
However, even if they were in the market (I don't know mantra's story), I would be tempted to call three PMs by the same user name containing the same information SPAM.
Again, when members receive what they suspect to be spam, they should contact moderators and let them sort it out.
Although I do personally remember private messaging mantra an offer, mantra we're all three pm's from one person or three diffrent people? If it is three diffrent people then it was a mis-hap on our part of three diffrent sales representatives sending you a message although I do know it could have been resolved alot easier then on web hosting talk.
Also if you got a pm from me for offering you hosting it wouldn't be a routine it would have been something for you .

ChickenSteak: all 3 pm's were from 1 person.
I was really interested in your plans. You have a nice looking site, but I don't like to be bombarded with the same pm's from the same host.Clip and Print Free Grocery Coupons - ClipCoupons.us

I got spammed earlier for an isp list site. Only to come here to see they signed up recently and posted a message in the advertising forums about it. At least they used the right forums for it.

I am referring to these threads when I made my posts. There is a difference between RUNNING a company and OWNING it. A business can be owned by an adult but run by a bunch of kids.

Well I do see your point of view in this thread regarding the spamming and realize this wasn't your fault. I wasn't involved in the threads I dug up, so I'm not going to comment on them. I don't want trouble, by inciting you into a war of words, but from a client's point of view, I'd be very cautious in dealing with RackEasy.
A mile long thread on WHT isn't going to hold anyone's interests, they're hardly going to read through it all just to find out the conclusion. One or two pages will set their minds up. That's the reason why "Press Releases" are used. I would be interested in seeing an entire summary of what went on in each of the cases I brought up. Maybe something to consider

P.S. Akash It's been me (Brandon) always on this name... If your thinking it was Larry who apologized, that's why i said "On behalf of Rack Easy "

Doesn't that suggest that you know you're spammers
