William -- the "gripping (sic)" has to do with the percentage increase, year over year, being exorbitant. I've already stated here, publicly, that we'll probably continue to use the software.
What this amounts to, basically, is either past poor business planning (not raising prices for several years) or poor current cash flow forecasting (needing to raise prices an unreasonable amount immediately). And let's not forget, in order to take advantage of the special offer for existing customers, you *must* renew *now* -- not when your current subscription expires. Classic way to raise immediate cash. If your current subscription doesn't end until, say, September, 2006 -- the Sniffer folks will have the use of your cash for nine months before you receive any benefit of the expenditure. CLASSIC emergency cash raise. Like I said, we'll more than likely continue, but I'll pick month to month (which we do now) -- just in case. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Landry, > William (MED US) > Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 5:57 PM > To: sniffer@SortMonster.com > Subject: RE: Re[2]: [sniffer] Last chance to renew at the old price! > > > Thomas, if your company cannot afford the rather small > monetary increase, > and you are running that close to the edge, then maybe you > should not be in > business.
