Nice reply from an end user

I sent some emails out to end users for the couk names, "all terrain board" and "all terrain boards", and received this reply:

Quote:
This is not a generic name for our sport unless you were around ten years ago. Not impressed by this kind of thing so please do not contact us again.
In that case, maybe they need to update their website page title, part of which says:

Quote:
Home of All-Terrain Boarding
And not forgetting their site description which starts with:

Quote:
UK manufacturer of all terrain boards.....
Absolutely clueless

replies like that just make me want to set up a site and beat them at their own game just to prove a point - though if i did that i'd prob have about 30 sites now all making millions. needless to say i havent!

That's just a cheeky reply....

That would encourage me to develop the domains and beat them on SEO, just to piss them off, and send all the traffic to their competitors. Most folks just don't get the relevance of a good domain yet. Give it another 5 years and they will be begging you to sell, then you can say "f u c k off"

Pretty rude. They'd have been better off not replying at all, than with that. Especially when it appears that you HAVE corrected stated the generic name of the sport.
