Re: WARNING: Beware of ABAC!

[Railroad WebRing <webring@rrdepot.com>]

I saw this on the RingLinkList and wanted to offer my help. I operate
the Five Buck Host at http://www.fivebuckhost.com where you can get web
hosting for only $5 per month per domain. This includes full CGI
capabilities, SSI Support, Front Page Extensions and more. Check us out.
To help you with your problems at ABAC, I will give you your first 3
months free and can set you up with an account in a few hours. Give me a
call at 888-310-4552 (Ask for Shane) or email me if you are interested.
P.S. This offer is good for anyone currently using the ABAC or
associated services. I am not affiliated with these companies in any way
and wish to help all those who were "screwed" by these people. For
anyone interested, I currently operate the Railroad WebRing
[http://webring.rrdepot.com] on this server with the RingLink software.
