I agree. There are many companies that have web sites and ignore their
email. Some ignore the entire web site.

The realities of the web hasn't caught up to everyone.

I had my radar repaired last year, which I added to a cruise of about
300 miles. I wanted info on where I was to tie up for the work to be
completed.

The company that did the repair had a web site, with all the links, but
never returned any messages. Only calling them on the phone got a
response. During business hours. They didn't even have a message
machine. They operate much like a business did in the 1960's.

Bad business practice. A modern business would kick their ass, but most
of these type businesses are run very poorly.
