Xbiz promoting newsgroup reseller?

This discussion started when XBiz took our advertising dollars, and then decided to make disparaging comments about our service. They had a chance to review our website, service and banners in advance, so if there was a legitimate problem, a professional organization would have rejected our advertising before it went live.

Secondly, after reading incorrect opinions that had been posted to the Greenguy board, we made a genuine attempt to help educate folks about Usenet and our service.

We did this by offering webmasters an opportunity to try the service live at their website... free of charge... for an entire month. They could have tested the service personally, or they could have made it available to their site users... whichever was most convenient for them.

That process would have allowed us to get to know one another from a business to business standpoint, and more importantly, it would have given us a chance to address specific questions and concerns on an individual basis.

Unfortunately, rather than take advantage of that generous offer, people ignored it... determined that it wasn't worth their time... or they visited an unrelated retail Usenet site to setup a trial account with a bad credit card.

Rather than take 15 minutes to actually try a service, it's seems that folks are more content with sitting back and arriving at uninformed conclusions instead. It's an unfortunate situation, but it's obvious that we're not going to get a fair shake.
