Dustin - it's comments like that which *feed* my curiosity!

Just *why* don't the 'admins' want me having an account there?

I'd been there a long time and caused no trouble at all. I couldn't
really care less whether or not I'm officially allowed to participate;
if I wish to do I don't believe they'd be able to identify me.

That's by the bye, the more interesting thing is the upset my comment
seems to have had. If everything was kosher not an eyebrow would have
been raised I'm sure.

I remember Giant being bought by Microsoft

There was no Malwarebytes back then.

Out of nowhere they came, as if by magic!

There is *still* no snail-mail postal address or contact telephone
number (that I can find) - essential attributes, I've been advised, if a
business seeks total acceptance.

I have read all about the partnership with Sunbelt btw.

Another item which attracted my interest some long time ago was the
purchase procedure:

"This order process is conducted by our online reseller cleverbridge AG.
Payment processing and order fulfillment are done by cleverbridge AG,
Brabanter Str. 2-4, 50674 Cologne, Germany."

Why? Because they are charging VAT at 19% instead of the 17.5%
applicable in the UK.

Tell me why they chose to use a German operation when currently based in
San Jose, CA., and when Malwarebytes is an Illinois corporation.

OK - it's an Internet company. I know! Forget that. ;-)
