I actually caught a hosting company red handed stealing code from one of my hosted websites to use for one of their own clients. How? I was CFMAILed when certain things happened on MY site, and all the sudden messages started showing up from another site using my code. Funny thing is that the messages were "from" the person using the system, an employee of the hosting company. I called and asked to speak directly with the person. When I confronted him, I think he crapped his pants. Then I asked to speak to the owner of the company (who I know personally). I think he crapped his pants too. I don't host there anymore. Good chance some employees from that company are on this mailing list. For the record, I don't host there anymore so don't go off trying to figure out who it was by looking at my current hosts... Yeah, you could say that pissed me off a little. -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.7277.232 f.770.460.0963 > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeffry Houser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 10:51 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Interesting Client Stories > > > So, I recently ( sort of ) finished up a project for a client. > The project kind of went on for too long ( for those of you who > caught my > other rant a few days ago ) and I had to put my foot down and say > "No more > free changes."
