RE: UKNM: Incorrect Use of Client Reference Sites

[Kirstie Hill]

Duncan I owe you a beer !


It is quite disturbing that companies such as Zygon, and those that

other people have sited, are in fact publishing misleading information.

Yeah Ok they may have had some involvement with the company.  In Zygons

case it was simply the fact that they had placed a sales call with

someone at Thomas Cook !!  Hmmm, perhaps if they had supplied

sandwhiches the link would be less tenious !


I am shocked at the audacity of some the companies you guys have

mentioned, but as it has been pointed out, when it comes to a serious

pitch these two bit cowboys will not have a leg to stand on.  It is just

very frustrating to see another company claim to a web site which has

taken months of hard work and sweat to develop.  


I guess there is no answer to this problem, companies like this will

continue with their bare face lies, however, I do believe it is to our

benefit to show these companies up for the frauds they are !!!


Lecture over !!!  :)
