Evidence?

For starters, the anecdotal evidence that when I saw the URL on a mailing list this morning, I thought the four companies were working together on a project (or someone was parodying them). Even after seeing the site, I didn't think it was an unsanctioned project until you mentioned it in a discussion message.

It ain't much, admittedly, but how many people confused DaveNet and DaveNetics before you were willing to rush to the battlements last week?

The bigger issue with me, though, is that SalonHerringWiredFool.Com fully repurposes syndicated content under a name that seems likely to redirect traffic away from the content producers involved.

There are responses to this message:
