surely if people have paid money because of chris's involvement with o2
AND his involvement with UKHA they have every right to "pry"?
chris has
sold this service to UKHA members *because* of the goodwill he has
generated as a UKHA member. how can you say "that is enough
detail" to
people who have paid money *only* because it is chris who was selling
it?

who exactly are o2? i always presumed they were they same o2 that
sponsored arsenal football club? if not i'm quite amazed that o2 the
communications company 1) didn't stop o2 the hosting company or 2) chose
the name if an firm with that name existed. and if they are the same
company, why are they in such a desperate need of chris's tech support?

i'm just glad i stayed away from this so-called amazing deal from the
start, i knew it would end in tears.
