The Mysterious Disappearance of Callwriter.com (Part 1)

Once upon a time, a man named John Brasher ran a service named Callwriter.com. As occasionally happens in the financial industry, the service was here one day and literally gone the next. I intercepted a forum thread back in March 2013 and today I begin presentation of select posts from that thread.

This company, of course, stands to gain new
subscribers from Callwriter’s disappearance.

I will continue with this thread in the next post.
