> it's probably more efficient to reduce churn

That would be lovely. Unfortunately, many places would rather you move job than give you a raise. It's cheaper in their accounts, and that's what (ah) counts.

Was it 80%* or 96%?

Was Phacility paying for a dedicated IP or not?

If someone from a company is lying to you then is this really an overreaction?

(*Was 80% cherry-picked from a particular domain and so used in a purposefully misleading way? Should a sales rep have access to that sort of data anyway?)

I'm surprised by the other comments here that I'm in the minority thinking that the sales approach was pretty terrible. You're trying to sell something you don't understand to a company you don't understand. Why? If you actually want to "help" a company (by selling them your product... not really sure how that's "helping", but...) then at least do some research into the company and provide something that looks useful rather than some crappy "Hi, I like you, let's chat!"

In this specific case, someone somewhere is lying about services being provided. If that's sales then that's not great. If that's accounts/billing then that's probably worse. In any case it's a pretty terrible look for the company concerned, and understandably results in an erosion of trust.

You've taken that sentence out of context. ;)

Using funds to pay for colo costs (and possibly staff) is not "skimming". The entire purpose of raising funds is to pay for things.

The front page of the project says:

Sure, it's accessible, but it doesn't really seem to be in good faith to directly ignore someone's explicit wishes.
