#13It could be he didn't pay for the web design because it sucks and he can't even hyperlink his own site correctly.

heresay though. we don't know if he really paid his accountant or webmaster.
This is all very unprofessional.
I think there's a pretty good chance this webdesigner is going to see some blowback in his business after posting incendiary stuff like this.

Of course there is, I don't do website design or development for the public anymore due to years of dealing with problems like this, so I understand. It's not very professional however, and makes himself look bad. Just disable the site and remove everything you've done if you want the business owner to answer your phone calls.

only those who "mastered" the web in 1998

#18Really, how much could this site be worth?
If I got this type of work from someone I'd probably tell them no thanks and stop returning their emails as well.

#19The "Webmaster" better hope he doesn't pay his attorney either.

#20Somewhat off-topic, but is the term "hiring" generally associated with payment?
I've run across some (otherwise very reasonable) gaming websites that periodically post big "we're hiring!" notices...and in the small print you see that there's no actual salary, employment agreement, etc. Really they're asking for volunteers, but they very consistently say they're "hiring."
[When I ask what's up with that, they're kinda defensive, saying "well, it's a video-game website, so you sometimes get free game copies....", but.... I dunno, it all seems kinda dodgy to me.]
