True, but it might be worse than that (well, it obviously is).
I must admit that I fell for their original pitch a few months back. At
first I assumed it was probably spam of a sort but after a look around
their site I decided they'd put too much effort into it just to be trawling
for suckers. I sent them a query; they said they'd like to see what I
offered them; I sent it off. Nothing happened, to my knowledge. It never
appeared. After several weeks I queried them again. Black hole.
