DreamHost bombs again – “New Customer Gripe Metric” ?
I’ve been mail merging since 1988. It’s not even about knowing how to mail merge, and it’s not about having the skill set required to execute a mail merge. It’s about having a component in your moral compass that compels you to check your work, because sending an email out like this is embarrassing and only cements your rating of worst webhosting company ever. Technologically, it would be one thing if there was some confusion or missing data in my customer record, so that something like “first_name” didn’t populate correctly, but you can see that...
Read MoreTekserve NYC Service Problem – Stay Away from Tekserve.com
Wednesday 8pm update: This story only got more ridiculous with the owner, Dick Demenus, emailing me to explain why it was delayed 1 day but not 3, and he regurgitated some information he was clearly given by the tech who has this all wrong.

Then after I was told I would get a full refund, I didn’t get a full refund. Well I had to pull out all the stops to get this remaining $18. I mean these people are scammy beyond...
Read MoreEndicia Internet Postage: Not VERY Recommended!
UPDATE: Monday, February 28, the CEO of Endicia contacted me to apologize and give me free service – for life. I don’t know if that’s something I should be telling the world, but Mr. Whitehouse once before responded to a problem I had in a very courteous way. And while one might make the argument that we shouldn’t have to contact a CEO to get our problems solved, I’ll say in the case of Endicia, I have felt like problems have been addressed quite cordially (quite being quite an understatement in this case) and left me with the impression that Endicia is a...
