Xbiz promoting newsgroup reseller?

[Wenchy]

I've read through this thread twice now and couldn't resist the urge to comment. IMHO, anyone to answers repeated legitimate questions with regurgitated ad copy and makes so little effort to address any one of the issues presented has something to hide. What's the old saying about "dazzle 'em with bullshit"?

Somehow reading through it all again I was reminded of my last experience with a used-car salesman... ask about the mileage and he tells you about their 90-day warranty.

Admittedly, I know next to nothing about usenet, but Alex makes some valid points about the function of their software, the manipulation of posted pictures, and the 2257 question. As a WM who's been around the biz for many years, I wouldn't touch that with somebody else's 10-foot pole.

Furthermore, I would extend a note of caution to anyone who does use their system... do so at your own peril. Call me paranoid, but it occurs to me that if a 2257 issue were to come up, these people would do everything in their power to pass the torch of responsibility and legal liability to those who posted the pics in the first place, so have all your ducks neatly in their little rows. Not that they would be successful, but the attempt could make things rather uncomfortable for anyone associated with them or their service.

If the thread fizzles, so be it... but I'll be interested to see how it all turns out.
