    Astonishing! Doesn't that constitute a breach of personal details confidentiality on CA's part.

      Slight cock up with the email to prompt completion of sign up. Nothing spectacular went out apart from the names so no breach of email addresses or anything personal. Five of those listed were some of my test sign ups as most who have joined have fully completed registration. Thanks for flagging it up on the forum Mrs G, very public spirited of you - helps us work out who you are too (as if we didn't know anyway.) Will be mailing an apology when the script has been fully tested to see what went wrong.

      Like I said, nothing personal gone out so no great problem but embarrasing all the same. Apologies for exciting you enough to make you post about it on the forum.

        That comes over as very flippant.

          No it doesn't...it comes across as genuinely embarassed and apologetic.

          Flippant would be "Yeah we messed up. So what. Nothing serious was compromised. Get over it."

          I suggest you read a dictionary to understand the definition of the word flippant. Then reconsider.

          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Epiphone, seconded, thought the same when I read it.

              So if a customer of yours came to you with a concern you'd say "So what, get over it" would you?

              Apologies for exciting you enough to make you post about it on the forum.
              To me, sounds flippant. Oh, by the way frivolously disrespectful, shallow, or lacking in seriousness; characterized by levity or glib; voluble.

              Admin may not have meant it to sound like that but that's a drawback of a text based meduim eh.

                agreed,

                when I read the reply, I thought to myself, well if that's their attitude...

                  IMO one should give companies a chance to sort these things out before going "public". Mistakes do happen to everyone - its how we sort out our mistakes which decides our true abilities.

                  I am looking forward to joining Contractor Alliance as soon as I get a chance.

                    Sarcastic is the word I think you're looking for...
