Stuff like this should only be on a .gov website and nobody in their right mind should enter in employee information into a random third party website run out of India by a single dude with a hotmail email address for a whois record. Nice try.

I couldn't disagree more. With your line of argument, start ups shouldn't exist because "a dude from his garage cannot be trusted with business info." Anyway The information being asked can very well be bought/scraped if somebody needs to.

Your site isn't a startup.

Keep on imposing your line of argument, and of course downvoting. But the truth is I was trying to solve a pain for small businesses most of which have not yet complied by sending the notification. It seems you never tried the website and started with your baseless arguments. Again with this website I have just made electronic delivery of the notification simpler as the same requires that "delivery is tracked". I just take employees email and name (optional) and basic business information necessary to prepare the model notice obtained from DOL website.

Solving somebody pain is a path to a startup, if you have some other definition please feel free to live by that.

I'm sorry that your ~14 day old website didn't make you millions on all the name and email addresses that you could have harvested and sold to the highest bidder. Good luck with your future ventures.

I see where you are coming from. It seems that you are already into selling emails business therefore you see others doing a legitimate thing as "harvesting emails to sell for millions." or maybe you are living in your own bubble and has never gone out to try to build something that non-technical can relate to solving their problem. Good luck and next time try to conduct yourself with little humility and that would go a long way in helping you achieve something.
