I've seen slams before but this takes the cake... Rodolfo, grow up!

Your initial response only shows how important you think you are.  Perhaps you should do the same and understand that when you produce a product or service you have a responsibility to your customers.  Maybe you are a person who believes they can do anything they want and everything they do is golden.  If that is the case please reserve your comments and editorial responses for the people in your office (If there are any who will tolerate you).

The issue is with the servers, how they were sold, how they are supported and what is happening to them. It is not with the people who bought them.  Please, unless you have spent your own money on buying and building a hosting network of your very own with your own money and have the risk of an owner... DO NOT ACT AS IF YOU ARE.

Rodolfo, have you written a book?  Your comments refer to a "Perfect Administrator" which you have proved you are, so far.  Cobalt did not market these boxes to Admins.  Let's hope that majority of people out here aren't as perfect as you claim to be.

First, I've been around long time and have learned two things:
1. People like you are frustrated and dangerous.
2. Comments like yours only enlighten us as to your own arrogance.  

So you are also a top level business consultant in addition to the "Perfect Administrator". WOW!  Any one will tell you that when you buy a company it's yours, you have responsibility for it and you get the profits. If you buy a company for any other reason to than to make money then go back to school.  There is no grace period when you buy a company which is why you also get the profits from it.  Rodolfo, your shortcoming as a human being is only exceeded buy your understanding of business.

>If your assertions are true, then I somewhat regret...
Regret... You have no regrets.. You felt like King s--- when you wrote this.  Stop the pseudo-politeness and discuss what to do rather than how important you are.  Provide this list with resources and knowledge rather than pompous rhetoric.  Maybe your Mom should take your keyboard away from you for a week and make you promise to never act like this again.

Nope, don't know the man.  But if you reply to him and others the way you reply to me then I hope we have at least one thing in common regarding you...  A hope that we never have to sit at the same diner table and listen to you.

Sincerely,

Pat
