Oh jeez, it's not that big a deal. I'm not one of their shareholders (and
if you buy dotcom stock you damnwell know what you are risking or you
should.) Everything I ordered I HAVE, so they don't owe me anything. I
suppose it is normal when dotcoms die not to even put up a Went Out of
BUsiness, Call xxx xxxx for Informatin sign? I think even their staff were
not told right up till the end, or they were ordered to keep their mouths
shut. Physical stores though, you know when they are having a firesale and
they give you a day it closes. Dotcoms even if they are public compainies
can be more fly by night!
