By logic one can assume that webair has customers hosted for those same prices....and probably picked some up today with people running scared from alphared.

2) Cavecreek recently offered to meet or beat any price for hosting, and to do so with their CDN, and they did this knowing there are alot of customers out there paying $5 or so per meg.

So unless you're willing to come out here and say that Webair and Cavecreek don't know what they're doing, or that they're somehow inferior to mojohost in terms of "staff, datacenter, servers, profitability and client experience", then this conversation is over.
You brought nothing to the party. All of us: Webair, CaveCreek, MojoHost, NationalNet and many more more can absolutely write whatever new business we want at any price match and still have profitability or meet some other organizational goal by doing so without jeapordizing our service.

My point is that all business can not be as such, that this is not sustainable as every day pricing across an entire book of business. Mike, Ron, Tony, many others - they will all agree with exactly what I am saying.
