clueless host

Taking cluelessness to a whole new level.

The beginning of the html is below.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<head>
<title>Error: JavaScript is not enabled</title>
<link href="http://www.apollohosting.com/style.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">

<meta http-equiv="Content-script-type" content="text/javascript">

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=/common/noscript.phtml">

Take a guess what that accomplishes? WARNING: Do *NOT* load this page
with js disabled. I found it to be possibly the most obnoxious thing
I've ever experienced on the web. I cannot complain to apollo right
now because if I do, cuss words will be involved. What clueless
****ups. (See? Best to wait a day or two.)

They really can't blame me or anyone else for slamming their server
senseless with repeated requests when it's their code to blame.

That said, they are clueless anyway, because the site works just fine in
Lynx. I don't know what they are intending to accomplish by trying to
reject non-Javascript browsers for no good reason.

Apollo hosting is clueless as a hosting provider as well. Their technical
staff is not very good. This does not surprise me at all.
