Basically, they expanded too fast for conditions. Too much spending and
overextended themselves, like most dot.com companies did during the boom
times. The red ink got to the investors in California and it was decided
to cease operations to lick their wounds and get out, instead of pouring
more money down a losing hole. After the initial blast of orders, times
got tougher and orders dried up, putting all this spending way in the red.

Sound familiar?

If you are concerned about spam, you can use a disposable email forwarder
such as:

http://sneakemail.com/info.pl?sel=quick

If you get any spam traced to the site, just disable that email addy.

No need to logon. Just enter Sailnet in search on Home page and select first
article and you will be able to read all about it.

Wonder what will happen to all the email archives. Good information there?

As soon as the server company doesn't get paid, it will all be erased....

Just received an email from Sailnet:

"It has come to the attention of SailNet that postings have appeared on
unmoderated forums that we host containing rumors and allegations
against
former and current management. We have no knowledge that any of the
claims
or allegations in these postings are true. We are attempting to remove

Exactly why I posted that this was my observations, first hand at their
closed headquarters....

Others posted their own letter content, which is fine, too.

Sailnet can also kiss my ass, if they like...(c; What I posted here was
not near as bad as what was said about them by the Charleston News and
Courier front page newspaper article in the Business Section....
