    I don't suppose they start work until 9am

    I'm curious to read what's got them so riled up. The message mentions a user called browntoa, but an advanced search says that's an invalid username. Is it a genuine rant, or a made-up one? Just curious - they're clearly stark raving mad and if they do run a company, this would be reason enough alone to steer well clear!

    Oops, apologies for missing the link already given - cheers guys. :)

    Have they got their whole family at it, or do you think this is automated?

    There are some differences in posting - the title varies in spacing for instance, and some are bolded and a couple have been in blue. Could still be one person putting different bits into their bot but I personally think that it is a couple of people.

    Just visited the kitchen website in question. Looks 100% professional and reliable. I'd buy from them. ;)
