Yes, very true!

I forgot that the El Reg tends to broadcast Plus.net's woes and yes, there's no such thing as bad publicity because you're getting people to talk about your company..

So either Marco was incredibly silly by posting that rant on here or he's a very astute marketing person, it's a shame that we will never know what his train of thought was at the time he posted the piece.

Heh.. It did for the forums.. It wouldn't show up on the main site really any more.. but forums it about doubled the users online at once

I'm sure that most of the members here realise that the PN reps were just doing what they were told to do. Mr Potesta of course won't show his face in here again because that probably would be asking for trouble. But I'm sure that the rest of them would be treated with the same civility and courtesy as they were before.

just for the record, i would welcome them back, on the condition that they don't SPIN.

I am sure everyone else on here would welcome them back as well :-) INCLUDING the ex-customers

Despite Plusnet spin to the contrary.

Call me cynical but I felt that I was being used to publish a message on behalf of PN when they had agreed not to post here.

I wouldn't call you cynical...

James Bailey is a two faced sort of person who likes to manipulate people; I can post links to this effect it needs be...

As long as you can keep the signups high
That is not happening in Plusnet's case though is it?

I could say the same about a lot of forum users.. Constructive posts would be far better.

One person's spin.. another's creative originality..
