Ack! Don't they realize outsourcing all the services provided is what
boned California[1] into the electric crisis a few years ago? That
being said, Microsharp was a reliable host for PLUG, I just consider
the transition an astounding lack of judgement on their part.

Without giving PLUG a chance to recover what they have? That's plain
rude. Why no warning?

[1] Not that California or Californians matters more than the dogshit
scraped off my shoe after an inconsiderate dog owner failed to scoop,
but I bring up the electric matter as lessons not learned by
Microsharp.
