Good God, I don't believe this!!!
Here's the story:
Ottawa Sales is not a business.
I'm a guy who lives in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
I post a lot of things for sale on USENET newsgroups
and have a lot of happy customers. Because I don't
want SPAM, I created a yahoo account for all of my
newsgroup postings. The name on the account is Ottawa
Sales, because I use it for selling in Ottawa. I
often use this account when signing up to online
services so I don't get SPAM to my real account. I
used it this time for the same reason.
I don't have a website, because I'm not trying to be
professional. I'm a guy who's trying to unload stuff
taking up room in the basement.
